POL SCI 2 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Stroke Recovery, Neurotrophic Factors, Motor Skill
Document Summary
Brain plasticity and cognitive rehabilitation (berlucchi, 2011) 3. Lessons about neuroplasticity from the aged brain 6. General and peripheral neural regeneration in mammals and lower vertebrates 6. Forms of human neurological and neuropsychological rehabilitation inspired by animal models 7. Understanding upper limb recovery after stroke (buma, kwakkel, & ramsey, 2013) 7. True neurological recovery in skill reacquisition after stroke 8. A number of neural mechanisms are operating in different, partly overlapping time frames: 8. Non-neural forms of plasticity after stroke 9. In vivo imaging of cortical map reorganization in humans 10. More spontaneous; upregulate expression of growth promoting factors. Reduces hyperexcitability of surrounding areas to facilitates neuronal growth end dendritic sprouting in affected brain area. After alleviation of diaschisis and hyperfusion: what is the difference between compensation and restitution and how do they affect each other, what is the typical rehabilitation strategy after stroke, how does constraint-induced therapy work? (motor recovery) Aimed to prevent maladaptive plasticity; ipsilateral activation is reduced.
