Acceleration of brain aging after small-volume infarcts
Stroke accelerates the brain aging process, even in patients with relatively small-volume infarcts. This phenomenon is particularly accentuated in elderly patients, and both stroke severity and poststroke functional outcomes are closely associated with accelerated brain aging. Further studies are needed to explore the mechanisms underlying the accelerated brain aging observed in stroke patients, with a particular focus on the structural alterations and plasticity of the brain following minor strokes.
