  • Note.—MCA indicates middle cerebral artery; CBF, cerebral blood flow; PCi, infarcted parietal cortex (PCni, noninfarcted); TCi, infarcted temporal cortex (TCni, noninfarcted); PiCi, infarcted piriform cortex (PiCini, noninfarcted); BGi, infarcted basal ganglia (BGni, noninfarcted).

    Values in parentheses show relative CBF in areas of the infarcted hemisphere corresponding to contralateral noninfarcted areas (CBFC) or its baseline blood flow (CBFB), respectively.

  • * P < .05 compared to baseline.
