Cognition and Neocortical Volume After Stroke Study (CANVAS)
CANVAS recruited patients with ischemic stroke from stroke units at three hospitals in Melbourne, Australia: Austin Hospital, Box Hill Hospital, and Royal Melbourne Hospital. All 86 recruited participants who completed baseline data collection were at least 18 years old, had suffered an ischemic stroke confirmed by clinical or radiological examination, and were able to have cognitive testing and an MRI scan within four or twelve weeks of the stroke event. The mean age of stroke participants was 67.5 years, and 74% were male.
