Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Nanowire Tetrodes

This would be great to use to find out exactly how neuroplasticity recruits new neurons and how axonal growth connects up neurons.
I emailed the professor letting him know what this could solve on neuroplasticity and neurogenesis.

The tip of an electrode, one-tenth the width of a human hair, with 18 nanowires drawn off from it. Each nanowire is one micron long and 60 nanometers wide (six-thousandths as wide as a human hair).

The project appears blandly nondescript. "Nanowire Tetrodes."
But what it seeks to do -- develop a wire so thin it can harmlessly penetrate the cell of a neuron to listen to what happens when a rat makes a decision -- could make a lot of noise if successful. Such knowledge could form the foundation for all kinds of therapies.
