Background Post-stroke depression (PSD) is common and associated with higher mortality,
poorer recovery, more pronounced cognitive deficits, and lower quality of life than is stroke …

Aerobic exercise improves cognitive and motor function by inducing neural changes
detected using molecular, cellular, and systems level neuroscience techniques. This review …

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

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 …

Stroke remains the leading cause of long-term disability with limited options available to aid
in recovery. Significant effort has been made to try and minimize neuronal damage following …

A variety of neuroprotectants have shown promise in treating ischemic stroke, yet their
delivery to the brain remains a challenge. The endothelial cells lining the blood-brain barrier …

Astrocytes, which are homeostatic cells of the central nervous system (CNS), display
remarkable heterogeneity in their morphology and function. Besides their physical and …

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has rapidly become an attractive
therapeutic approach for stroke. However, the mechanisms underlying this remain elusive …

Objective To observe the brain protective effect of Leonuri Herba Total Alkali (LHA) on
cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rats, so as to provide basis for clinical research …

Background and objectives: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is one of the most
