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

For the last two decades, researchers have placed hopes in a new era in which a
combination of reperfusion and neuroprotection would revolutionize the treatment of stroke …

Recovery after stroke is a multicellular process encompassing neurons, resident immune
cells, and brain-invading cells. Stroke alters the gut microbiome, which in turn has …

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability. Advanced technological solutions
(" neurotechnologies") exploiting robotic systems and electrodes that stimulate the nervous …

Motor skill learning relies on the plasticity of the primary motor cortex as task acquisition
drives cortical motor network remodeling. Large-scale cortical remodeling of evoked motor …

Stroke causes significant mortality and morbidity. Currently, there are no treatments which
can regenerate brain tissue lost to infarction. Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are at the …

The photothrombotic stroke model generates localized and reproducible ischemic infarcts
that are useful for studying recovery mechanisms, but its failure to produce a substantial …

An obstacle to understanding neural mechanisms of movement is the complex, distributed
nature of the mammalian motor system. Here we present a novel behavioral paradigm for …

Loss of sensory function is a common consequence of neurological injury. Recent clinical
and preclinical evidence indicates vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with tactile …

Understanding neuronal mechanisms of learned behaviors requires efficient behavioral
assays. We designed a high-throughput automatic training system (HATS) for olfactory …
