Document Summary
Helping the injured nervous system to repair itself. Lecture 21: regeneration: prevention helmet on bicycle, physical fitness, cardiovascular fitness, control inflammation (has not been so successful in stroke) strategies to alter how we have inflammatory response. Improve blood flow (tpa) tpa is used within first two hours of ischemic stroke. Half of a brain missing but the person is fine. A surgical removal of half the brain due to epilepsy. This must be because the undamaged neurons on the side that was not removed was able to re-wire the system to compensate for surgical intervention. One of the ways ns heals itself in a sense. Can we talk: brain and spinal cord have 100 billion neurons, 1000 trillion synapses on 100 billion neurons. For the brain to develop, we need the birth of neurons and cell differentiation. This is due to the motility of the growth cone.
