One major target for these advances is stroke, where most patients can be left with significant disability. Treatments have the potential to improve the victim's quality of life significantly and reduce the time and expense of rehabilitation. Brain Repair After Stroke reviews the biology of ...
in which leading international authorities set out the basic neuroscientific principles that underlie brain recovery, including chapters on neural plasticity and neural imaging, and describe appropriate rehabilitation strategies for the many different functional problems that can arise after stroke. These inclu...
After you have a stroke, your brain may need to relearn some old skills. Which ones will depend on your condition. Still, your gray matter has an amazing ability to repair and rewire itself. A stroke rehabilitation program can help your brain get the job done. It may not totally reverse...
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...
Researchers with Neuroscience Research Australia and their colleagues have identified a remarkable new of improving recovery after stroke. The team found that some stroke patients have a distorted or "scrambled" representation map of their hand. When a p
It is now generally accepted that acquired brain injuries, such as occur in stroke or trauma, initiate a cascade of regenerative events that last for at least several weeks, if not months. Many investigators have pointed out striking parallels between post-injury plasticity and the molecular and ...
to the amount of use of the affected arm or to independence in activities of daily living.Finally, a longitudinal follow-up study was performed to investigate the changes in brain activation patterns from the acute to the chronic phases and their relationship to motor learning after stroke.

Support for Stroke Survivors & Caregivers. Build a Stronger Future After a Stroke. I'm Bill Gasiamis and I have survived three strokes. I'm passionate about stroke recovery but was fed up with the lack of help I received when discharged from hospital. So I created online help for other ...
brain activity associated with music listening in acquired amusia. Moreover, the functional recovery and changes after acquired amusia has not been previously mapped. Traditionally, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used to monitor recovery of function after stroke24. Overall, the ...
Research has shown that human growth hormone often appears in the brain as part of a self-protective mechanism after an injury such as stroke so the researchers injected the rat's brains with GH beginning on the fourth day after the stroke and continued the treatment for six weeks.1 ...
