A patient suffers a stroke, which causes (1) a complete ischemia in the far anterior parietal cortex, (2) underperfused penumbra in the medial parietal and superior temporal cortex, and (3) non-ischemic peri-infarct area in the medial temporal and posterior parietal cortex. What impairments would you predict for this patient immediately after the stroke? Also, what impairments would you predict six months following the stroke? Include in your answers the distinction in recovery between basic and high-order functions.
