The face arm speech test: does it encourage rapid recognition of important stroke warning symptoms?
Conclusions The survey has confirmed the effectiveness of the recent FAST campaign in raising public awareness of stroke and stroke warning signs, though poorest penetration was seen in the black and minority ethnic population. However, important stroke symptoms, including leg weakness and visual loss, were poorly recognised. This may lead to delays in presentation, specialist assessment and secondary prevention, and such stroke warning signs should be included in future public health campaigns.

New research sheds light on underlying cause of brain injury in stroke
(University of Plymouth) New research led by Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry shows how the drug QNZ-46 can help to lessen the effects of excess release of glutamate in the brain -- the main cause of brain injury in stroke. As stroke is the second leading cause of disability and early death in the UK, this study could offer hope to thousands of people at risk.

Grain size units of Chinese handwriting: development and disorder.
Abstract The current study investigated the grain size of writing units used by children in copying Chinese characters using handwriting measures. In Experiment 1, 31 Grade 1 and 31 Grade 5 children studying in mainstream schools in Hong Kong were invited to copy 36 pseudo-characters on an Android tablet. The pseudo-characters were constructed by combining, in their legal positions, radicals that contain two logographemes. The pseudo-characters contain only high frequency radicals in one condition and only low frequency radicals in the other condition. Linear mixed effect modeling was used to analyze the significa...

Brain rewires itself after damage or injury, life scientists discover
When the brain's primary "learning center" is damaged, complex new neural circuits arise to compensate for the lost function, say life scientists from UCLA and Australia who have pinpointed the regions of the brain involved in creating those alternate pathways — often far from the damaged site.   The research, conducted by UCLA's Michael Fanselow and Moriel Zelikowsky in collaboration with Bryce Vissel, a group leader of the neuroscience research program at Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research, appears this week in the early online edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. ...
