Despite this, apathy is clinically under-recognized and poorly understood. This overview provides a contemporary introduction to apathy in stroke for researchers and practitioners, covering topics including diagnosis, neurobiological mechanisms, associated consequences, and potential treatments for apathy. Apathy is often misdiagnosed as other post-stroke conditions such as depression. Accurate differential diagnosis of apathy, which manifests as reductions in initiative, and depression, which manifests as negative emotionality, is important as it informs prognosis. Research on the neurobiology of apathy suggests that there are few consistent associations between stroke lesion location and the development of apathy. These may be resolved by adopting a network neuroscience approach, which models apathy as a pathology arising from structural or functional damage to brain networks underlying motivated behavior. Importantly, networks can be affected by physiological changes related to stroke, including the acute infarct but also diaschisis and neurodegeneration. Aside from neurobiological changes, apathy is also associated with other negative outcome measures such as functional disability, cognitive impairment, and emotional distress, suggesting that apathy is indicative of a worse prognosis following stroke. Unfortunately, high-quality trials aimed at treating apathy are scarce. Antidepressants may have limited effects on apathy. Acetylcholine and dopamine pharmacotherapy, behavioral interventions, and transcranial magnetic stimulation may be more promising avenues for treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1747493021990906","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,2]],"date-time":"2021-02-02T15:03:46Z","timestamp":1612278226000},"page":"510-518","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":130,"title":["Apathy after stroke: Diagnosis, mechanisms, consequences, and treatment"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0598-0004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonathan","family":"Tay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Stroke Research Group, Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robin G","family":"Morris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, King\u2019s College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hugh S","family":"Markus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stroke Research Group, Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000346076"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.112.674614"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MRR.0b013e3282fc0f0e"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.109.554410"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/CLEP.S150915"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp-2020-323092"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eurpsy.2018.07.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/gps.2508"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1041610209991116"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000350202"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/gps.1866"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2015.01.020"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13803395.2017.1371282"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/arclin\/acy044"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.147.1.22"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3999(03)00371-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000481577"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13195-014-0082-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2011.03508.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.neuropsych.12040080"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cercor\/bhj043"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11065-017-9356-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pneurobio.2020.101785"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_26_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.119.028587"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_27_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000007095"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_28_2","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Acute ischemic stroke","author":"Sist B","year":"2011","unstructured":"Sist B, Jesudasan SJB, Winship IR Diaschisis, degeneration, and adaptive plasticity after focal ischemic stroke.
