Researchers at UCLA have identified a novel molecule in the brain that, after stroke, blocks the formation of new connections between neurons. As a result, it limits the brain's recovery. In a mouse ...

Agnes (Yu) Luo, PhD. [University of Cincinnati] After a stroke, extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules known as chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) become barriers to axonal plasticity and ...

A stroke wreaks havoc in the brain, destroying its cells and the connections between them. Depending on its severity and location, a stroke can impact someone's life forever, affecting motor activity, ...

Recovery from stroke can be slow-going. Neurons struggle to sprout new axons, make new dendritic spines, and form new synapses. Is there any way, besides standard physical therapy, to help the process ...

The Immense Importance of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier According to research undertaken by Iughetti et al. (2011), the central nervous system and the peripheral ...
