Abstract

Introduction: Understanding the physiology of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) related to changes in aphasia severity during subacute stroke recovery is a crucial and underexplored research area. Methods: In this pilot trial, we recruited 6 male veterans (age = 64 ±6 yrs) from the Atlanta VA and Emory Hospital. The ‘early’ subacute phase was defined as 2-10 weeks post-stroke, followed by 6 weeks of recovery involving standard care. Participants returned for measurements in the ‘late’ subacute phase (
