Scientists at EPFL have developed an innovative, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy to significantly improve visual function in stroke patients who have suffered vision loss following a stroke.

Stroke patients treated intravenously with loberamisal, a novel neuroprotective medication, daily for 10 days and starting within 48 hours of stroke symptoms, had better recovery than patients who ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

Stroke recovery represents one of the most challenging yet hopeful journeys in medicine. While the brain damage from a stroke cannot be reversed, the remarkable ability of the human brain to rewire ...

Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. For survivors of the most common type of stroke, called an ischemic stroke, only about 5 percent fully recover. Most others suffer from ...

Scientists have discovered that DMT, a natural compound found in plants and even the human brain, can dramatically reduce brain damage caused by stroke. The psychoactive molecule, long known for its ...

BACKGROUND: The disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a central pathogenic event in many central nervous system disorders. However, the mechanisms regulating BBB function remain incompletely ...

A small randomized clinical trial found fitness training had no brain volume benefits over stretching alone following ischemic stroke. However, intense structured cardiorespiratory exercise still ...

Various methods of "brain cooling" - or induced hypothermia - can be used to limit swelling in the brain when someone suffers ...
