Lesion-symptom models: Where we are and what’s next
Thomas Hope, PhD.
Welcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging
University College London

Lesion-symptom models relate the brain damage that (often stroke) patients
have suffered to measures of consequent cognitive impairment. These models are
used to predict those consequent impairments as accurately as possible, and/or
to draw inferences about the functional roles of damaged brain regions in the
undamaged brain. After briefly surveying the rapid progress that has been made
toward both goals in recent years, I will describe the enduring challenges
that we still face, as well as some recent and ongoing work to address those
challenges. In particular, I will address: (a) emerging evidence that
post-stroke impairments are progressive, with symptoms continuing to evolve
over years after onset; (b) the challenge of deriving stable, credible
inferences from lesion-symptom models to the functional organisation of the
brain; and (c) the key, remaining barriers to exploiting lesion-symptom models
in clinical stroke medicine.
