People with attributed unilateral damage to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and temporal-parietal cortex after experiencing a stroke were measured using the mismatch negativity test. For the control group the mismatch negativity amplitude was largest in the right hemisphere regardless if the tone was presented in the right or left ear.
Adults are sometimes anesthetized as well if moderate sedation is unsuccessful. [citation needed] Due to the procedure being invasive, sonographers do not perform this procedure unlike transthoracic echo. [citation needed] Once adequate sedation and anesthesia are achieved, the probe is passed through the mouth and into the esophagus.
In the example shown here, the gradient echo image shows the region of likely cytotoxic edema whereas the SW image shows the likely localization of the stroke and the vascular territory affected (data acquired at 1.5 T). The bright region in the gradient echo weighted image shows the area affected in this acute stroke example.
Approximately 17 million people had stroke in 2010 and 33 million people have previously had stroke and were still alive. [19] Between 1990 and 2010 the incidence of stroke decreased by approximately 10% in the developed world and increased by 10% in the developing world.
