weeks.After four weeks,all the rats of the experimental group were treated with middle cerebral artery occlusion for 90 min.After sacrifice,the fresh brain samples were collected for following experiments,including infarct volume,edema volume,blood-brain barrier(BBB),which were detected by ...
These depolarization waves can continue in the brain for days and even weeks after the stroke, compounding the damage. "When you force every single cell, which is essentially a battery, to release its charge it represents the single largest disruption of brain function you can achieve—you ...
“These findings show that the glymphatic system plays a central role in driving the acute tissue swelling in the brain after a stroke,” said Maiken Nedergaard, M.D., D.M.Sc., co-director of the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) Center for Translational Neuromedicine and senior ...
as well as its ability to remodel them after stroke and traumatic brain injury—two areas of study that remain largely a mystery. Last fall, Theus received a three-year, $483,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to begin this research. ...
Brain Reprograms Itself After StrokeFunctional imaging of the brain demonstrates that this highly complex organ adapts to injury by redistributing its cognitive workload across established neural networks and recruiting local cortical areas to fill in for lost functions like speech and language ...
Watershed infarction has previously been described after cerebral trauma, when it is due to raised intracranial pressure or systemic hypotension. A case is reported, so far as is known for the first time, of bilateral watershed infarction following blunt systemic trauma, without injury to the head...

et al. CCR5 is a therapeutic target for recovery after stroke and traumatic brain injury. Cell 176, 1143–1157.e13 (2019). This paper describes a gene system that is involved in learning and stroke recovery in mouse models and patients with stroke. CAS PubMed PubMed Central Google Scholar ...
In response to the shortage of carb-derived sugars such as glucose, the body begins breaking down fat into ketones and ketoacids, which it can use as alternative fuels. In rodents, ketogenic diets are known to reduce inflammation, improve outcomes after brain injury and extend lifespan. However...
blood clot. The same type of stroke occurs much more commonly in adults. Previous studies of brain injury in infants have included several types of brain injury, but the focus in this study on a specific type of injury enabled the authors to find more consistent effects than in previous ...
