MBP and memory impairment: A significant relationship was found 1 month after HI between MBP signal intensity in EC and the severity of hemiparesis, as assessed by CRT (R = 0.39, t = 2.6, p < 0.05) (Figure 5A), and between MBP signal intensity in CX and the severity of memory impairment, as assessed by NOR (R = 0.44, t = 2.6, p < 0.05) (Figure 5B).
