By combining morphological and single-cell level gene expression analyses, a team of researchers led by Professor Jun ...

After brain damage, the SVZ responds by forming newborn neurons that migrate towards the area of the lesion and could provide cell replacement there. However, after a stroke, the functioning of ...

Bazan mentions. By pinpointing which cells in the brain are involved in post-stroke response, Dr. Bazan believes neuro-protective molecules his team discovered could save brain cells. As for ...

As brain cells (neurones) can die within minutes ... This can result in slurred speech or inability to find the right words. If a stroke occurs anywhere along the visual pathway (i.e. the occipital ...

We have established novel stroke models, where ischemic injury is restricted to the cortex, enabling studies of functional recovery, brain adaptations, neuronal rearrangements, and ...

A stroke is when something blocks blood supply to part of the brain. If you don't get treatment right away, strokes can cause brain damage, disability or even death. Now, researchers are working ...

However, the long-term effects of stroke – cognitive impairment and depression resulting from damage to the brain’s cells or neurons, for example – can be harder to treat. But a new study by ...
