Clinical Features, Brain-Structure Changes, and Cognitive Impairment in Basal Ganglia Infarcts: A Pilot Study.

These findings demonstrated that brain structure changed after ischemic stroke, and different gray-matter structural changes could lead to specific cognitive decline in PSCI patients with basal ganglia infarcts. Atrophy of the right hippocampus potentially serves as an imaging marker of early executive function of PSCI.
