Brain Plasticity Mechanisms Underlying Stroke Recovery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spontaneous recovery represents the only hope of regaining autonomy, for the majority of stoke victims especially in developing countries like Morocco. This recovery is mainly based on the brain’s reorganization capacities, referred to as “adaptive plasticity”. Rehabilitation is one of the most powerful modulators of brain plasticity that, if well administered, can improve post-injury recovery.

Clinical evidences of brain plasticity in stroke patients.
Emerging findings deriving from neuromodulation and neuroradiology are providing us new insights about plas- ticity and functional reorganization of the brain after stroke, but the direct clinical assessment of motor function should still be considered an indispensable tool for the evaluation of the effects of plasticity in stroke patients. Recovery of motor function can be spontaneous or guide...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying improved recovery of neurological function after stroke in the rodent after treatment with neurorestorative cell-based therapies.
We discuss the mechanisms of action underlying the beneficial effects of treating ischemic stroke in the rodent with exogenously administered cells. The essential hypothesis proposed is that the administered cells enhance recovery of neurological function by stimulating the production of restorative factors by parenchymal cells. These activated endogenous brain cells evoke white matter remodeli...
متن کاملNeuroplasticity and neuromotor synergies in context of rehabilitation after stroke: a systematic review
Background: Alterations of neuroplasticity and cortical excitability are important pathophysiological factors in stroke. Modulation of the neuroplasticity has been proposed as an underlying mechanism of recovery in different neurological disorders. But it is not still clear how the CNS faces the complexity of muscle control. Neuroplastic processes may be used for the functional improvement of s...
متن کاملMaladaptive Plasticity for Motor Recovery after Stroke: Mechanisms and Approaches
Many studies in human and animal models have shown that neural plasticity compensates for the loss of motor function after stroke. However, neural plasticity concerning compensatory movement, activated ipsilateral motor projections and competitive interaction after stroke contributes to maladaptive plasticity, which negatively affects motor recovery. Compensatory movement on the less-affected s...
