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.
