Between 2000 and 2015, the rate of ischemic strokes decreased by 43%, with the risk of death falling by 24%. Researchers attribute the declines to improved treatment options. Read More
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) shows promise in diminishing the effects of early dementia and proves a safe and effective method for treating acute migraine and PPA. Read More
Using AI technology to analyze CMR scans, researchers were able to precisely quantify the blood flow to the heart muscles of patients. Comparing the AI-generated blood flow results with health outcomes, the team found those with reduced blood flow were at increased risk of stroke, heart attacks, and heart failure. The machine-learning algorithm was able to predict which patients may die or suffer major adverse health events better than doctors could. Read More
Six proteins in the blood can be used to assess a person's risk of developing cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). CSVD has been linked to an increased risk of stroke and Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Combining neuroimaging data and deep learning technologies, researchers have developed a model of the human brain that simulates patterns of neurological impairment better than existing models. Read More
A newly developed artificial neural connection device allows new cortical sites, previously not associated with limb movements, to swiftly regain the control of a paralyzed hand. Read More
Eating a vegetarian diet rich in nuts, soy, and vegetables may have a neuroprotective advantage when it comes to reducing stroke risk. Read More
A new, non-invasive wearable magnetic device stimulates the brain to rewire itself is safe to use and could help improve recovery for stroke survivors. Read More
Study sheds light on the process of death and questions if people experience a state of euphoria during their final moments. Read More
Following a stroke, dysfunction in the glymphatic system causes cerebrospinal fluid to flood the brain, drowning neurons, and triggering cerebral edema. Read More
Microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) modulate stroke recovery. The effect was mediated by circulating lymphocytes on microglia activation. The study reports SCFAs could be a potential therapeutic to improve post-stroke recovery. Read More
Short-chain fatty acid supplementation improves stroke recovery in mouse models. Read More
