White Matter Connections and Memory: The STRATEGIC Study

Sample details

The STRATEGIC Study followed around 200 participants over the age of 50 years who were recovering from an ischaemic stroke, endured 30-90 days before baseline data collection. The participants provided biological, questionnaire and neuroimaging data until 2019, and over the course of follow up, a subset of six patients and five controls also provided Positron Emission Tomography scans.
