Can training memory and attention on a home computer-task reduce spatial awareness problems after stroke?

How can we maximise a brain bank resource to help small vessel disease?
The aim of this research programme is to develop a human brain bank to support biomedical research into the pathophysiology of human SVD that may be used nationally and internationally.
Amazing Brains 2019
Amazing Brains: Research to Recovery. Previously known as our Keynote Lecture, our event took taking place on Wednesday, 15 May 2019, at the Science Museum in central London.
Getting the most from brain MRI scans: new and better measures of brain health in stroke
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans provide lots of data on the health of a person’s brain, not all of which is routinely used in clinical practice. This project will continue the development of tools to assess the brain scans of people with stroke.
Can we improve predictions of upper limb recovery after stroke with brain imaging?
Stroke survivors and their relatives consistently ask for information about how much recovery can be expected. This study will look at how well a patient can use their arm after stroke, and at their brain images recorded within 72-hours after stroke. The hope is that brain images can improve our prediction of patient arm movement recovery at six months after stroke.

New brain stimulation study into post-stroke fatigue
Monday 3 November 2014
One of our Postdoctoral Fellows, Dr Anna Kuppuswamy, has published a paper today in the journal Brain. Her research looks at what is happening in the brains of people who experience fatigue because of a stroke.
Bleeding in the brain: haemorrhagic stroke
Resource type: Information leaflet
Publication type: Stroke information
Around 15% of strokes are haemorrhagic (due to bleeding in or around the brain). This guide explains the two different types of stroke caused by a bleed, intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage, and how they are diagnosed and treated.
Could a hibernation-like state protect the brain against the effects of ischaemic stroke?
Torpor is a natural state of reduced energy use and body temperature. This research will look at the effect of torpor on brain activity and function, and the amount of brain damage caused by ischaemic stroke.
New research suggests brain scans could help predict brain bleed risk in patients on anticoagulant drugs.
Wednesday 16 May 2018
The CROMIS-2 study investigated whether signs of small brain bleeds on routine brain scans can help us understand which ischaemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation are at increased risk of a bleed in the brain when on anticoagulant ‘blood thinning’ drugs.
