I wrote about this in Dec.2011 here;
http://oc1dean.blogspot.com/2011/12/young-blood-rejuvenates-old-brains.html
This was the key paragraph:
These results suggest that chemicals found in the blood of old mice
inhibit the generation of new brain cells, whereas chemicals in the
blood of young mice promote it. The researchers then injected blood from
young or old mice into young adults. Again, they found that animals
injected with old blood had far fewer newborn neurons in the hippocampus
than those injected with young blood, confirming that old blood
contains soluble factors that inhibit neurogenesis.
And the new article here:

So this brings up the question for your doctor. Should all stroke survivors get blood transfusions from young people, maybe your grandchildren?
How young should the blood be?
