The pandemic has hit stroke research hard. We need your help to save it.
Neuroplasticity: re-wiring the brain
Your brain is amazing! It has the ability to re-wire itself, allowing you to improve skills such as walking, talking and using your affected arm. This process is known as neuroplasticity. Plasticity means your brain's ability to change. It begins after a stroke, and it can continue for years,

Locked-in syndrome after brain stem stroke
A stroke in the brain stem can cause the very rare condition of locked-in syndrome, where the person is conscious but unable to move apart from their eyes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
