Abbreviations: MCA, middle cerebral artery; BG, basal ganglia; WM, white matter; IC, internal capsule.
Notes: Subject 1 was excluded because of comorbid conditions. Notch filtering was used on both sides of subject 13 due to 60 Hz noise.
It should be noted that while subject 8 had a chronic focal lesion in the right periatrial white matter and a chronic microhemmorhage in the left medial temporal lobe, this subject presented with lateralized spasticity in both the upper and lower limbs on the left side. The left sided spasticity was presumably an outcome of the right-sided white matter lesion.
