Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,983 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 neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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.

Perceiving invisible light through a somatosensory cortical prosthesis
Lets say you have a field cut, ask your doctor what additional research and studies are needed to get this to humans. Don't be polite, being polite has caused untold delays in getting decent stroke recovery protocols. We can't continue making the same damn mistake. It may be in rats but we have to start someplace. Who would be willing to donate millions to this type of research? But that would presuppose we have a great stroke association to direct this type of stuff. http://www.nature.com/ncomms/journal/v4/n2/full/ncomms2497.html

Abstract
Sensory neuroprostheses show great potential for alleviating
major sensory deficits. It is not known, however, whether such devices
can augment the subject’s normal perceptual range. Here we show that
adult rats can learn to perceive otherwise invisible infrared light
through a neuroprosthesis that couples the output of a head-mounted
infrared sensor to their somatosensory cortex (S1) via intracortical
microstimulation. Rats readily learn to use this new information source,
and generate active exploratory strategies to discriminate among
infrared signals in their environment. S1 neurons in these
infrared-perceiving rats respond to both whisker deflection and
intracortical microstimulation, suggesting that the infrared
representation does not displace the original tactile representation.
Hence, sensory cortical prostheses, in addition to restoring normal
neurological functions, may serve to expand natural perceptual
capabilities in mammals.
