(molecular and integrative physiology, U. of Kansas Medical Center) compile 24 chapters on the biology of brain repair after stroke, in animal models of recovery and in spontaneous recovery in humans, including results of neuroimaging studies and treatment strategies based on brain repair principles....
Subdural hematoma.This condition can happen after an injury, such as a blow to your head. Bleeding on the surface of your brain starts to put pressure on your brain tissue. Besides stroke-like symptoms, you might also have memory loss or personality changes. If a baby has a subdural hemato...
more than one in ten of the population. This figure could well be an underestimate. Neurological(神经学的)problems such as stroke, migraine (偏头痛),Parkinson’s and brain injury are collectively the leading global source of disability. Ageing populations with unhealthy ways of life are likely ...
Whole-brain models have proven to be useful to understand the emergence of collective activity among neural populations or brain regions. These models combine connectivity matrices, or connectomes, with local node dynamics, noise, and, eventually, transm
This study included 31 subacute stroke patients (mean age: 67.6 years, seven women) with aphasia and 24 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. All patients had ischemic cortical lesions in the left frontal lobe (Fig.1c). We recorded the resting-state EEG (median: 35.0 days after stroke)....
There is growing interest in the use of robotics within the field of rehabilitation. This interest is driven by the increasing number of people requiring rehabilitation following problems such as stroke (with an ageing population), and the global phenomenon of insufficient numbers of therapists able ...
Lifelong bilingualism may result in neural reserve against decline not only in the general cognitive domain, but also in social cognitive functioning. In this study, we show the brain structural correlates that are associated with second language age&nbs
Dysphagia is a serious stroke complication but lacks effective therapy. We investigated safety and preliminary efficacy of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (atDCS) paired with swallowing exercises in improving post-stroke dysphagia from an
Constant Therapy is so much more than a brain-training app or brain games. It was designed by clinicians and scientists at Boston University specifically to target the challenges of recovery after stroke, brain injury, TBI, aphasia, dementia, apraxia, and other neurological disorders. It systematic...
Physiatrists can help patients with acute or chronic pain and musculoskeletal problems, and can coordinate the rehabilitation for those needing long-term care (e.g., after stroke or spinal cord injury). Physiatrists direct the rehabilitation team. They use electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction...
