angiogenesis and stroke rehab

Another word for you to learn about and understand how it helps your recovery.

http://www.angio.org/ua.php
Angiogenesis, the growth of new capillary blood vessels in the body, is an important natural process in the body used for healing and reproduction. The body controls angiogenesis by producing a precise balance of growth and inhibitory factors in healthy tissues.
Therapeutic angiogenesis may even help to regenerate damaged or lost tissues in ways that were previously considered impossible, such as with nerves and brain tissue.

So not only will you need to grow new neurons via neurogenesis but you need to supply the blood to them also.
