GABAergic but not anti-cholinergic agents re-induce clinical deficits after stroke.

Our goal was to determine whether the excitatory (i.e., GABA) neurotransmitter system was important in human stroke recovery.

Multitasking disorder from right temporoparietal stroke.

Acute behavioral syndromes after right hemisphere stroke (eg, hemi-inattention) resolve in most patients by 6 months. Less is known about the nature of chronic disorders after these lesions when the initial deficits are no longer apparent. We report the case of a woman who suffered a cerebral infarct in the right temporoparietal region and who, after the resolution of neglect, demonstrated a significant disorder of multitasking in her everyday life.
