Deans' stroke musings: Synaptic listening - How neuroplasticity might work

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.

Synaptic listening - How neuroplasticity might work

The Cellular Scale blog writes about how to listen in on neuronal synapses. This sounds extremely important if we are ever to know how neurons recruit neighbors and how neuroplasticity works. My theory on that is here:

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - neurons

We absolutely need to find the answer if we ever are to make neuroplasticity truly repeatable. That would allow us to get a lot closer to 100% recovery.

Does your doctor or your stroke association have any idea how neuroplasticity really works?
