    The Impact of Periventricular Leukoaraiosis in Post-stroke Oropharyngeal Dysphagia: A Swallowing Biomechanics and MRI-Based Study

    Oropharyngeal dysphagia is a highly prevalent post-stroke complication commonly associated with topographically specific gray-matter damage. In contrast, the role of damage to the extensive white matter brain ...
