Deans' stroke musings: Top Brain, Bottom Brain: Surprising Insights Into How You Think

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.

Top Brain, Bottom Brain: Surprising Insights Into How You Think

Probably the latest fad in neuroscience. What does your doctor need to do to adjust stroke protocols to accomodate different styles?
The test here:

Find your dominant cognitive mode. Take the test

Deric Bownds' MindBlog

discusses it at his link.

Mine is:

You Have
Tendency Not To Rely on Top/Tendency To Rely on Bottom

Which Means
You think in situational Perceiver Mode: you tend to interpret what is experienced, put it in context, and understand the implications, but you are particularly context dependent.

Whatever the hell that means, I'm not going to read the book.
