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.

Thick Cortex Offers Clue to Better Memory

Fascinating topic with no clues as to how to get that way. Read it all at the link.

Investigators have found no common environmental factors to explain the cortical thickening. Some patients smoked, others didn't. Some regularly consumed alcohol, others never drank. Some exercised regularly, some never exercised. Some were financially secure, and others had struggled financially throughout their lives.
"We can't say eat a cup of blueberries or drink a glass of wine and you'll have better memory," said Rogalski.
Investigators also have yet to analyze data on mind-stimulating activities that might account for differences in memory, such as reading or playing chess.


I wonder what the definition of thick is. Or did they have this better memory since birth. Inquiring minds want to know.  Stump your doctor with this question.
