The Impact of Ischemic Stroke on Gray and White Matter Injury Correlated With Motor and Cognitive Impairments in Permanent MCAO Rats: A Multimodal MRI-Based Study

Abstract

Collectively, the gray and white matter damages could be non-invasively monitored in pMCAO rats by multimodal MRI. DTI-derived parameters, particularly the FA, might be a good imaging index to stage gray and white matter damages associated with post-stroke motor and cognitive impairments.
