Vision loss can be a side effect from stroke. Neurons don't regenerate, and stem cell therapy is costly, difficult, and chancy. Researchers have figured out a way to use gene therapy to recover lost ...

Most strokes happen when an artery in the brain becomes blocked. Blood flow to the neural tissue stops, and those tissues typically die. Because of the locations of the major arteries in the brain, ...

A new screening tool for visual perception difficulties after stroke that takes just 15 minutes to complete could help improve diagnosis of visual perception problems common in stroke survivors, new ...

A new study bolsters evidence that people partially blinded by a stroke or brain injury may be able to improve their field of vision by teaching new parts of their brain to see, U.S. researchers said ...

Mirror therapy (MT) has emerged as a promising intervention for stroke rehabilitation by harnessing the brain’s plasticity to improve motor recovery. This technique employs visual feedback through a ...

A new study shows that visual rehabilitation is effective for patients who have suffered vision loss related to stroke or traumatic brain injury. Jose Romano, Chief of the Stroke Division at the ...

A recent report by Kessler researchers and clinicians described the effects of binocular occlusion in a patient with spatial neglect and severe posture impairment. The article, "Impact of eliminating ...

Did you know that after a stroke, nearly one-third of survivors face a challenging condition known as "neglect"? This neurological disorder significantly impacts a stroke survivor's rehabilitation, ...
