So lets get some more research into how to develop a therapy protocol for this.

FINDINGS:
Researchers at UCLA have identified a novel molecule in the brain
that, after stroke, blocks the formation of new connections between
neurons. As a result, it limits the brain's recovery. In a mouse model,
the researchers showed that blocking this molecule—called
ephrin-A5--induces axonal sprouting, that is, the growth of new
connections between the brain's neurons, or cells, and as a result
promotes functional recovery.
IMPACT:
If duplicated in humans, the identification of this molecule
could pave the way for a more rapid recovery from stroke and may allow a
synergy with existing treatments, such as physical therapy.
UCLA AUTHOR:
Dr. S. Thomas Carmichael, professor of neurology, and colleagues
JOURNAL:
The research appears online this week in the journal PNAS.
MORE:
Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability because of the
brain's limited capacity for repair. An important process in recovery
after stroke may be in the formation of new connections, termed axonal
sprouting. The adult brain inhibits axonal sprouting and the formation
of these connections. In previous work the researchers found,
paradoxically, that the brain sends mixed signals after a
stroke—activating molecules that both stimulate and inhibit axonal
sprouting. In this present work, the researchers have identified the
effect of one
molecule that inhibits axonal sprouting and determined the new
connections in the brain that are necessary to form for recovery.
The researchers also developed a new tissue bioengineering approach
for delivering drugs to the brain after stroke. This approach uses a
biopolymer hydrogel, or a gel of naturally occurring brain proteins, to
release neural repair molecules directly to the target region for
recovery in stroke—the tissue adjacent to the center of the stroke.
Last, the paper also shows that the more behavioral activity after
stroke, such as the amount an impaired limb is used, the more new
connections are directly stimulated to form in the injured brain. This
direct link between movement patterns, like those that occur in
neurorehabilitation, and the formation of new brain connections,
provides a biological mechanism for the effects of some forms of
physical therapy after stroke.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,972 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
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.
