Visual scanning training for neglect after stroke with and without a computerized lane tracking dual task - van Kessel ME, Geurts AC, Brouwer WH, Fasotti L.
Neglect patients typically fail to explore the contralesional half-space. During visual scanning training, these patients learn to consciously pay attention to contralesional target stimuli. It has been suggested that combining scanning training with metho...

Scientists plug into a learning brain
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) Scientists explored the brain's capacity to learn and found learning is easier when it only requires nerve cells to rearrange existing patterns of activity than when the nerve cells have to generate new patterns.

With the right rehabilitation, paralyzed rats learn to grip again
(University of Zurich) After a large stroke, motor skills barely improve, even with rehabilitation. An experiment conducted on rats demonstrates that a course of therapy combining the stimulation of nerve fiber growth with drugs and motor training can be successful. The key, however, is the correct sequence: Paralyzed animals only make an almost complete recovery if the training is delayed until after the growth promoting drugs have been administered, as researchers from the University of Zurich, ETH Zurich and the University of Heidelberg reveal.

New data-driven machine learning method effectively flags risk for post-stroke dangers
(University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) A team of experts in neurocritical care, engineering, and informatics, with the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, have devised a new way to detect which stroke patients may be at risk of a serious adverse event following a ruptured brain aneurysm. This new, data-driven machine learning model, involves an algorithm for computers to combine results from various noninvasive tests to predict a secondary event.

NIH launches collaborative effort to find biomarkers for Parkinson's
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) The National Institutes of Health has launched a new initiative to help researchers investigate biomarkers for Parkinson's disease, and to help patients learn about and participate in such studies. So far, the NINDS Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers Program has funded nine research teams taking a variety of unique approaches to discover new biomarkers. To support collaboration across these projects and others, the PDBP is introducing a new online platform for investigators to share their data.
