Small Window Of Recovery After Stroke by Pooja Shete on  February 23, 2021 at 12:21 AM The international study conducted in London and Adelaide is published in the journal Neurorehabilitation and Neuro Repair. This study followed the recovery of 60 stroke patients up to one year after their stroke. The researchers showed conclusive evidence that the brain only has a small window of opportunity to more easily repair itself after stroke. Lead author Dr Brenton Hordacre, from the University of South Australia said that previous animal studies suggested the same case, but th...

How Exercise Helps Prevent and Treat Parkinson’s Disease Jake Panasevich Parkinson's disease had caused 61-year-old John Cullen to slouch and drag his foot while walking. Then Cullen started powerlifting. He's since become strong enough to dead lift 465 pounds. Beyond strength, exercise ameliorated many of the Parkinson's symptoms he experienced in everyday life. It took about six months for his gait to improve, he says. "I was able to walk backwards. I felt like I could go up and down stairs better. Things were really rocking and rolling. I felt almost like I didn't have it...

To something like confidence. we did dna tests. neither of us have particularly confidence genes. we also found in terms of gender difference, genetics isn't as important as a few things like testosterone which really pushes risk taking and risk taking we found is critical for confidence. what we also found which is the great news is that confidence is probably at least half controlled by the environment but it's something we can build ourselves and in terms of brain plasticity and rewiring our brains, it's actually pretty easy to accomplish. >> so we've all experienced people that we can say ...

Turns out they are. new research suggest a big chunk of our confidence, some say up to 50%, comes straight from our dna. i was busy researching the origins of confidence and i set out to learn my genetic blueprint. one saliva test and the help of a doctor, i learned in terms of the key genes which contribute to confidence, i come up short. i'm more prone to anxiety than resilience and more of a worrier than a warrior. that's one part after larger confidence equation. hormones like testosterone give men a boost. and the parts of our brain matter. women rely more heavy on a section called worry ...

Researchers say exercise impacts brain plasticity, which is linked to problems with cognition. any time now, we could learn from that new cap on the bp oil well is going to work and success could come in one of two ways. the cap could completely cover the well, allowing bp to suck up all of the oil into containment ships on the surface. that would also for the first time give us a more accurate assessment of the true rate the oil is flowing out. determining the amount of oil is important because a big chunk of the fines bp faces are determined by the amount of oil spilled into the water. tha...
