This has raised the need to develop effective treatments to improve poststroke recovery. Induced brain plasticity and cell replacement using neural stem cells are two promising strategies for therapy for stroke. This review will discuss the potential of such therapy as well as the factors that need...
The wordNeuroplasticityis a fancy way of saying that the brain (neuro) can change (plasticity). After a stroke, neuroplasticity can help the brain to work around the damaged areas in order to regenerate, re-establish, and rearrange the neural connections related to function. In order to retrai...
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. ...
A study from UCLA neurologists challenges the idea that the brain recruits existing neurons to take over for those that are lost from stroke. It shows that in mice, undamaged neurons do not change their function after a stroke to compensate for damaged ones. Astrokeoccurs when the blood supp...
“Our working culture means many of us stay chained to our desks in the belief this makes us work harder. But you’ll work better if you take regular walks.” 7. Spinal checks Adjustments by osteopaths and chiropractors can improve brain function, and especially the functioning...

Feeling dizzy after a stroke is more common than you think. Learn more about post-stroke dizziness and how vestibular therapy can improve your function.
the resulting functional implications can vary. In order to receive medical care as soon as possible to minimize the effects, it is important to learn the warning signs of a stroke. Knowing parts of the brain affected by your stroke will help you understand why you function the...
A study at China Medical University found that Curcumin helps prevent disruption of the blood-brain barrier after a stroke.The researchers found that Curcumin restored the expression of occludin and ZO-1 proteins which in turn restored the barrier function of the blood-brain barrier.[xxiv]...
Whether reeling from a sudden stroke or buckling under the sustained assault of Alzheimer's, the brain becomes inflamed, leading to cognitive problems and even death.
