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.

Woman's Touch Zaps Man's Opioid System

You'll have to ask your doctor if this is good or bad for your social life. I don't have to worry about this.

Woman's Touch Zaps Man's Opioid System

A couple of paragraphs to tease you.
Endogenous opioid release was diminished in men when they were softly stroked by their female partners, providing a clue to brain mechanisms involved in social relations, a researcher said here.

"[Social] touching deactivates the opioid system," he told attendees at the Society for Neuroscience's annual meeting. Although it may seem paradoxical, it actually confirms earlier studies that had found an inverse relationship between endogenous opioid activity and social success, Tuominen said.
For example, one recent study found deactivation of the opioid system was associated with social acceptance, while others showed increases in opioid activity in the context of social rejection.

The current study, Tuominen said, "may help to understand the complex relationship between psychiatric disorder and problems in social life."
