Calming overexcited neurons may protect brain after stroke: New data prompts reconsideration of decades-old theory about brain injury due to stroke - Science Daily

By scanning the genomes of nearly 6,000 stroke patients, researchers have identified two genes associated with recovery. Both are involved in regulating neuronal excitability, suggesting that targeting overstimulated neurons may help promote recovery in the p…

A new study has prompted scientists to reconsider a once-popular yet controversial idea in stroke research.Neuroscientists believed that, in the aftermath of a stroke, calming overexcited neurons mig… [+5845 chars]
