Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide and often results in impairments in movement, speech ...

Blocking the activity of ZFP384 can prolong the brain’s endogenous repair functions after stroke, report researchers in a ...

Besides the traditional benefits of cardiorespiratory exercise after stroke, patients also showed improved cognitive performance and some arguable preserving of brain volume in a small randomized ...

After a stroke, the brain may do something surprisingly hopeful—it can “refresh” parts of itself. Researchers analyzing brain scans from over 500 stroke survivors found that while the damaged side of ...

Physical rehabilitation and symptom management still remain the mainstay of treatment for stroke, as clot removal or dissolution is effective only within a narrow time frame after the stroke. After ...
