Deans' stroke musings: Novel Atlas Maps Neurotransmitter Damage From Stroke

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.

Novel Atlas Maps Neurotransmitter Damage From Stroke

With this your competent doctor can use the dendritic branching and axon pathfinding protocols that were created years ago. Oh, your incompetent doctor hasn't even started creating protocols! WOW!

axon pathfinding (42 posts to March 2012)

dendritic branching (42 posts to February 2012)

Send me hate mail on this: oc1dean@gmail.com. I'll print your complete statement with your name and my response in my blog. Or are you afraid to engage with my stroke-addled mind? No excuses are allowed! You're medically trained; it should be simple to precisely state EXACTLY WHY you haven't created those protocols in the last decade with NO EXCUSES! Your definition of competence in stroke is obviously much lower than stroke survivors' definition of your competence! Swearing at me is allowed, I'll return the favor. Don't even attempt to use the excuse that brain research is hard.

Novel Atlas Maps Neurotransmitter Damage From Stroke

New research provides insights on unique neural circuit disruptions and recovery patterns following cerebrovascular accidents.

Recent research has unveiled groundbreaking insights surrounding how strokes affect neurotransmitter systems within the brain, shedding light on potential avenues for treatment and rehabilitation. A new study developed by researchers has created the first-ever MRI white matter atlas of neurotransmitter circuits, enabling mapping of how strokes damage these circuits and disrupt neurotransmitter systems, including acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline.

This innovative atlas stands to revolutionize our approach to neurochemical rehabilitation for stroke patients, addressing the complex relationship between stroke lesions and cognitive impairment. By analyzing two significant patient samples—one from University College London Hospitals and another from Washington University School of Medicine—the researchers identified distinct neurochemical clusters linked to various behavioral and cognitive outcomes.
