Researchers tested electrical stimulation's influence on stroke recovery, showing participants experienced meaningful motor recovery gains. The study aims to validate these findings and potentially reverse paralysis, restoring patients' function and normal lifestyle.
Researchers discovered that patients with medically intractable epilepsy may develop new adult brain cells post-operatively. This cell generation could be the cause of recurring seizures and provide a potential target for future treatment and prevention strategies.
Researchers found that mice with brain tumors treated with stem cells showed increased blood supply and decreased tumor growth, living on average 50 percent longer than untreated mice. The Congress of Neurological Surgeons Annual Meeting presented this promising research.
