The purpose of the study was to investigate the time course difference of relative changes in oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) concentration in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) between controls and patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) who had right hemisphere damage (RHD) using the continuous performance test (CPT) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology. Here, GSTM1 is linked to Cognitive impairment.
