Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary end point(s): [18F]-FEOBV nondisplaceable binding potential (BPND) and [18F]-FDOPA binding ratio; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Visit 1 Visit 2 ;Main Objective: To compare the integrity of cholinergic and dopaminergic pathways in apathetic (n = 15) and unapathetic (n = 15) patients 3 months after stroke, matched in age and sex. It will be necessary to compare the binding intensity of cholinergic and dopaminergic tracers (estimated in PET by the measurement of either the nondisplaceable Binding Potential, BPND, or a binding ratio) between the 2 groups of subjects.; Secondary Objective: 1. To assess whether modifications of cholinergic and dopaminergic activities can be linked with the clinical expression of apathy. 2. To assess whether cholinergic and dopaminergic dysfunctions can be linked with alterations in the functional organization of the resting brain. 3. To assess whether modifications of cholinergic and dopaminergic activities can be linked with specific local changes in white matter microstructure. 4. To investigate whether the binding intensity of cholinergic and dopaminergic tracers is dependent on cerebral blood flow disorders, as shown on the cerebral blood flow maps provided by arterial spin labeling sequences.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Binding intensity of cholinergic and dopaminergic tracers - Clinical severity of apathy - Functional connectivity parameters measured with MRI - Diffusion tensor imaging parameters, such as the fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity, measured with structural MRI - Cerebral blood flow ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Inclusion Visit 1 Visit 2
