First stroke rehabilitation drug that reestablishes brain connections discovered in mouse model
But here's the thing, this is a good news/bad news situation because there are two types of neuroplasticity: positive and maladaptive.
Neuroplastic changes are created in response to stimuli and activity, or lack thereof. In stroke recovery, we want to facilitate positive neuroplasticity, aka the creation of new pathways and cortical reorganization... See more

- Consistency is key : Work on your recovery every day
