Similar cognitive deficits in mice and humans in the chronic phase post-stroke identified using the touchscreen-based paired-associate learning task

W. Z. Chow, L. K. Ong, et al.

This study by Wei Zhen Chow and team investigates post-stroke cognitive function using a novel touchscreen-based learning task. Findings reveal that chronic stroke survivors have reduced cognitive performance compared to age-matched controls, with striking parallels observed in post-stroke mice. Discover how this research could inform future therapies aimed at enhancing cognitive recovery after stroke.

Abstract
This study assessed post-stroke cognitive function using a comparable touchscreen-based paired-associate learning (PAL) task in chronic stroke survivors (≥ 5 months post-stroke, n=70), age-matched controls (n=70), and in mice (six months post-stroke). Stroke survivors showed significantly fewer correct choices than controls, mirroring similar impairment in post-stroke mice. This highlights the potential of analogous modelling using parallel cross-species test platforms for evaluating therapies to improve long-term cognitive function post-stroke.
