We also found that, while subjective cognition predicted changes in depression and anxiety post-stroke, depression/anxiety changes did not reciprocally explain changes in subjective cognition, suggesting that subjective cognition may have a causal influence on post-stroke mood /3.

Really happy to see @chloecarrick_ 's great (pre-registered) study on cognitive associations of chronic post-stroke #fatigue - executive dysfunction uniquely relates to fatigue above other cognitive symptoms. With @NeleDemeyere .Funder: @TheStrokeAssoc .

Following stroke, fatigue is highly prevalent and managing fatigue is consistently rated a key unmet need by stroke survivors and professionals. Domain-specific cognitive impairments have been asso...

Was really happy to share the work on my great Master’s students John Kinley and Kyle Kelleher on cognitive augmentations to BA after stroke. Different augmentations have different mood and activity outcomes in BA! #NRSIG2024

Super proud of Ghizlane Slaoui presenting her work on understanding perspectives of long-term executive dysfunction in stroke survivors. Executive dysfunction is not only hidden from others, but can be hidden from stroke survivors too #NRSIG2024
