Ischemic stroke, which accounts for 75–80% of all strokes, is the predominant cause of
morbidity and mortality worldwide. The post-stroke immune response has recently emerged …

Stroke induces a plastic state in the brain. This period of enhanced plasticity leads to the
sprouting of new axons, the formation of new synapses and the remapping of sensory-motor …

Ischemic damage to the brain triggers substantial reorganization of spared areas and
pathways, which is associated with limited, spontaneous restoration of function. A better …

Stroke is the leading cause of complex adult disability in the world. Recovery from stroke is
often incomplete, which leaves many people dependent on others for their care. The …

Rationale: The integrity and function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is compromised after
stroke. The current study was performed to examine potential beneficial effects and …

Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and sleep-wake disturbances (SWD) are
highly prevalent in stroke patients. Recent studies suggest that they represent both a risk …

An account of the neurobiology of motor recovery in the arm and hand after stroke by two
experts in the field. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults and recovery is often …

Inflammatory processes induced by brain injury are important for recovery; however, when
uncontrolled, inflammation can be deleterious, likely explaining why most anti-inflammatory …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality all over the world. Due to an aging
population, the incidence of stroke is rising significantly, which has led to devastating …

Stroke is a major cause of serious disability due to the brain's limited capacity to regenerate
damaged tissue and neuronal circuits. After ischemic injury, a multiphasic degenerative and …
