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.

Social environment and neurogenesis in the adult brain

Your doctor needs to find out exactly what social environment is needed for the best neurogenesis. It shouldn't take longer than two weeks to get this implemented in all stroke hospitals.

Adult neurogenesis—the formation of new neurons in adulthood—has been shown to be modulated by a variety of endogenous (e.g. trophic factors, neurotransmitters, and hormones) as well as exogenous (e.g. physical activity and environmental complexity) factors. Research on exogenous modulators of adult neurogenesis has focused primarily on the non-social environment. Most recently, however, a role of the social environment on modulating adult neurogenesis has also been suggested. The present review details the effects of adult-adult (e.g. mating, conspecific exposure, and pheromonal cues) and adult-offspring (e.g. gestation, parenthood, and exposure to offspring) interactions on adult neurogenesis. In addition, the effects of a stressful social environment (e.g. lack of social support and dominant-subordinate interactions) on adult neurogenesis are reviewed. The underlying mechanisms and potential functional significance of adult-generated neurons in mediating social behaviors are also discussed.
