About this trial
The purpose of this study is to establish a methodological framework based on existing advanced neuroimaging technologies as a new clinical neuroimaging tool for assessment of possible affected brain connections in stroke and TIA patients. Thus, providing new insights into microstructural changes that may underline why those patients experience deficits like fatigue.
