Using Magnetoencephalography (MEG) to Understand Post-Stroke Cognitive
Processing Deficits: Implications for Prognosis and Treatment

Elisabeth B. Marsh, M.D.
The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Planning, acting, and communicating can be impaired following even small
strokes. Stroke survivors commonly report difficulty with concentration,
attention, and multi-tasking, even when they don’t have severe strokes causing
aphasia or hemiparesis, and these deficits prevent them from returning to
their previous home and workplace environments. Past studies have documented
post-stroke cognitive dysfunction in individuals with minor stroke, but
elucidating the risk factors, natural history, and underlying pathophysiology
explaining how a small lesion can cause such significant problems is less
clear. This presentation will provide an overview for difficulties with
processing post-stroke, focusing specifically on those who appear otherwise
“normal”. We will explore how functional imaging techniques such as
magnetoencephalography (MEG) may provide insight into the pathophysiology
behind these deficits, and the implications for designing therapies to
decrease post-stroke morbidity in a population with tremendous potential for
improvement.
