Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 31,940 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.

20 billion nanoparticles talk to the brain using electricity
I'm sure with ANY innovative brains at all in the stroke world we could easily see many applications for stroke rehab. BCI? TMS? etc. etc. stem cell placement? axon pathfinding? neurite outgrowth? magnetic delivery of tPA with much smaller boluses?
ELECTRICITY is the brain’s language, and now we can speak to it
without wires or implants. Nanoparticles can be used to stimulate
regions of the brain electrically, opening up novel ways to treat brain
diseases.
When magneto-electric nanoparticles are subjected to an external
magnetic field, they produce an electric field. If such nanoparticles
are placed next to neurons, this electric field should allow them to
communicate.
To find out, Sakhrat Khizroev of Florida International University in
Miami and his team inserted 20 billion of these nanoparticles into the
brains of mice. They then switched on a magnetic field. An
electroencephalogram showed that the brain region surrounded by
nanoparticles lit up, stimulated by the electric field that had been
generated (Future Medicine, doi.org/44b).
