    Poststroke depression severity may depend on brain infarct location. While left hemisphere lesions showed a trend towards greater depression closer to the frontal pole, right hemisphere injuries linked anterior and posterior sites to higher depression scores.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Poststroke depression is a common complication following a stroke.
    • Previous research suggests a link between infarct location and depression severity.
    • Specific relationships have been proposed for left and right hemisphere injuries relative to the frontal pole.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To replicate and extend previous findings on the association between infarct location and poststroke depression.
    • To investigate the relationship between lesion site and depression severity in patients with unilateral stroke.
    • To explore potential differences in this association between left and right hemisphere lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessed depression in patients with recent, localized right (n=16) or left (n=19) hemisphere lesions.

  • Analyzed the relationship between lesion location (proximity to frontal pole) and depression severity.
  • Employed statistical methods to evaluate linear and curvilinear associations.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant overall differences in depression severity were found between left and right hemisphere stroke groups.
    • A trend towards a negative linear relationship between depression severity and lesion distance from the frontal pole was observed in the left hemisphere group, but it was not statistically significant.
    • A curvilinear relationship was identified in the right hemisphere group, with both anterior and posterior lesions associated with higher depression scores.

    Conclusions:

    • Lesion location is associated with poststroke depression severity.
    • The relationship between infarct location and depression is complex and may differ between hemispheres.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the neuroanatomical underpinnings of poststroke depression.
