Personality and stroke

Summary/Abstract: A total of 40 verbal stroke patients (40-72 years old, Mean age = 59.71), 20 of which with righthemispheric lesions (12 with prerolandic and 8 with postrolandic localization of the lesion) and 20 with leftemispheric lesions (9 with prerolandic and 11 with postrolandic location of the lesion), were examined with the adapted to the Bulgarian population short version of Minnesota-test (MMRI), with the aim to verify the hypothesis, that the left- and right hemispheric lesions after stroke provoke differentiated changes in the personality. Participants were asked to self-assess twice – once premorbid and once postmorbid. The results obtained confirmed the assumption that left and right cerebral lesions are related to changes of different personality characteristics.
