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.

AD 3 The physiological role(s) of brain rhythms

I have no idea if this is of any use at all but I wonder if this gets into whether brain communication is either a particle or a wave. And that our researchers should know.

Abstract

Pascal Fries Study of medicine at the University of Saarland (1991–1993) and at the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe University in Frankfurt (1993–1998). Doctorate at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research and at the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe University in Frankfurt (1993–1999). Postdoc in the Laboratory of Neuropsychology at the National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD, USA (1999–2001). Principal Investigator at Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands (2001–2009). Professor of Systems Neuroscience, Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands (since 2008). Scientific Member of the Max Planck Society, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology, Martinsried, and Director of the Ernst Strüngmann Institute (ESI) in Cooperation with Max Planck Society, Frankfurt (since 2009).
Attention is most likely implemented by modulations in the effective connectivity among brain areas. We have proposed that effective connectivity depends on rhythmic synchronisation. We have therefore assessed neuronal activity with 252 electrodes distributed across one hemisphere between primary visual cortex and prefrontal cortex. We find that attention is subserved by strong and specific enhancements of interareal synchronisation. The inter-areal influence is often directed, typically bottom-up in the gamma-band and top-down in the β-band. These results suggest that inter-areal synchronisation subserves effective inter-areal interactions.
