Promoting neurological recovery of function via metaplasticity.
The modification of synapses by neural activity has been proposed to be the substrate for experience-dependent brain development, learning, and recovery of visual function after brain injury. The effectiveness or 'strength' of synaptic transmission can be persistently modified in response to defined patterns of pre- and post-synaptic activity. Well-studied examples of this type of synaptic plas...
متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen therapy and promoting neurological recovery following nerve trauma.
There is a constant search for new techniques that induce more extensive and rapid wound healing. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) involves placing a patient in a sealed chamber and elevating its pressure several-fold above ambient air pressure while the patient breathes 100% oxygen. HBO2T induces a number of physiological actions, and which wounds are selected for HBO2T depends on the specifi...
متن کاملThe Spectrum of Neurological Recovery
The equivalence of brain death with death is largely, although not universally accepted. Patients may have suffered insults such as cardiac arrest, vascular catastrophe, poisoning, or head trauma. Early identification of patients at greatest risk of poor neurologic outcome and management in the appropriate critical care setting is the key to maximizing neurological recovery. Recent technologica...
متن کاملPromoting neurological recovery in the post-acute stroke phase: benefits and challenges.
BACKGROUND Profound cellular and biochemical remodeling processes occur in the brain following an ischemic stroke, raising the possibility that we may be able to promote neurological recovery by harnessing the brain's endogenous recovery processes with pharmacological or cell-based therapies. There is a compelling body of evidence that cerebral plasticity and neurological recovery can be stimul...
