- Conditions
- Ischemic Stroke
- Registration Number
- NCT00867581
- Lead Sponsor
- Huazhong University of Science and Technology
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to observe delayed neuronal death of hippocampus after middle cerebral artery infarction in human beings.
- Detailed Description
40 patients with middle cerebral artery infarction and 40 healthy volunteers will be observed. All of them will receive MRI scan and the assessment of the neuropsychological function (MMSE, AVLT, HAMD) intending to observe delayed neuronal death of hippocampus after middle cerebral artery infarction in human beings.
