Research Article Asynchronous therapy restores motor control by rewiring of the rat corticospinal tract after stroke
A rat model of stroke shows that the rebuilding of spinal circuits in response to training is time-sensitive. Authors: A. S. Wahl, W. Omlor, J. C. Rubio, J. L. Chen, H. Zheng, A. Schröter, M. Gullo, O. Weinmann, K. Kobayashi, F. Helmchen, B. Ommer, M. E. Schwab

Stroke hospitalizations up among middle-aged blacks in South Carolina
Stroke hospitalizations in South Carolina are increasing among middle-aged blacks. The disparity in South Carolina alone, was associated with $450 million in hospitalization charges over 10 years. The issue is not limited to the south as similar data has also been noted elsewhere.

When couples disagree on stroke recovery, one partner can suffer
When a stroke survivor and his/her caregiving spouse disagree on the survivor's rate of recovery, the caregiver is more likely to experience depression and emotional distress. Researchers found that the magnitude of the discrepancy in spousal perception is key to predicting depression in caregivers. They add that the magnitude of the discrepancy in perceptions between survivors and spousal caregivers is key to predicting depression in spousal caregivers -- which can then cycle back onto the survivors.

Making a mental match: Pairing mechanical device with stroke patients
A functional MRI-compatible hemiparesis rehab device that creates a long latency stretch reflex at the exact time as a brain signal has been developed by researchers. It is designed to assist stroke victims. "The device is designed to adapt to people whether they are hyper, normo or hyporeflexive," said one developer.

Endurance runners more likely to die of heat stroke than heart condition
Heat stroke is 10 times more likely than cardiac events to be life-threatening for runners during endurance races in warm climates, according to a new study. The authors noted the findings may play a role in the ongoing debate over pre-participation ECG screenings for preventing sudden death in athletes by offering a new perspective on the greatest health risk for runners.

Novel pathway for prevention of heart attack, stroke
A recent study could pave the way for preventing brain and cardiac ischemia induced by atherosclerosis. Finnish researchers have found that the low-expression variant of fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), which is particularly common among Finns, reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. The finding revealed a promising new way to customize a potentially preventive drug for atherosclerosis.

Electric current to brain boosts memory: May help treat memory disorders from stroke, Alzheimer's, brain injury
Stimulating a region in the brain via non-invasive delivery of electrical current using magnetic pulses, called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, improves memory. The discovery opens a new field of possibilities for treating memory impairments caused by conditions such as stroke, early-stage Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain injury, cardiac arrest and the memory problems that occur in healthy aging.

Optogenetic stimulation for stroke recovery Neuroscience
Clinical and research efforts have focused on promoting functional recovery after stroke. Brain stimulation strategies are particularly promising because they allow direct manipulation of the target area’s excitability. However, elucidating the cell type and mechanisms mediating recovery has been difficult because existing stimulation techniques nonspecifically target all cell types near...

Potassium-rich foods cut stroke, death risks among older women
Older women who eat foods with higher amounts of potassium may be at lower risk of stroke and death than women who consume less potassium-rich foods. The health benefits from potassium-rich foods are greater among older women who do not have high blood pressure. Most older American women do not eat the recommended amounts of potassium from foods.

Foot drop stimulator found to be beneficial in stroke rehab
Use of a foot drop stimulator during a task-specific movement for 4 weeks can retrain the neuromuscular system, a study demonstrates. This finding indicates that applying the foot drop stimulator as rehabilitation intervention may facilitate recovery from this common complication of stroke.

Too many stroke patients miss window to regain crucial functions
Too many stroke patients in Canada are not getting the rehabilitation they need to return to a healthy, active life, according to a new study. The research findings strongly suggest that such decisions are being made based on what services are available in the health system rather than what patients really need.
