Kleim & Susan Schwerin -- Molecular mechanisms of neural repair after stroke / S. Thomas Carmichael -- Behavioral influences on neuronal events after stroke / Theresa A. Jones & DeAnna L.

Leigh Leasure, Andreas Luft & Timothy Schallert -- Spontaneous stroke recovery in humans. Brain events in the acute period of stroke in relation to subsequent repair / Rüdiger J. Seitz -- Changes in cortical excitability and interhemispheric interactions after stroke / P. Talelli, O. Swayne & J.C. Rothwell -- Human brain mapping of the motor system after stroke / Nick S. Ward -- Recovery from aphasia : lessons from imaging studies / Cornelius Weiller & Dorothee Saur -- Brain mapping of attention and neglect after stroke / Alex R. Carter, Gordon L. Shulman & Maurizio Corbetta -- Depression and its effects after stroke / Thomas Platz -- Epidemiology of stroke recovery / Samir Belagaje & Brett Kissela -- Treatment strategies. Issues in clinical trial methodology for brain repair after stroke / Steven C. Cramer -- Neuropharmacology in stroke recovery / Isabelle Loubinoux & François Chollet -- Robotic approaches to stroke recovery / David J. Reinkensmeyer -- Electromagnetic approaches to stroke recovery / Gottfried Schlaug & Leonardo G. Cohen -- Intensive physical therapeutic approaches to stroke recovery / Steven L. Wolf & Carolee J. Winstein -- Cognitive approaches to stroke recovery / Valerie M. Pomeroy, Stephen J. Page & Megan Farrell -- Electrical stimulation approaches to stroke recovery / John Chae & Leigh R. Hochberg -- Growth factors as treatments for stroke / Seth P. Finklestein & JingMei Ren -- Cellular approaches to stroke recovery / Yi Li & Michael Chopp.
Summary: Increasing evidence identifies the possibility of restoring function to the damaged brain via exogenous therapies. One major target for these advances is stroke, where most patients can be left with significant disability. Treatments have the potential to improve the victim's quality of life significantly and reduce the time and expense of rehabilitation. Brain Repair After Stroke reviews the biology of spontaneous brain repair after stroke in animal models and in humans. Detailed chapters cover the many forms of therapy being explored to promote brain repair and consider clinical trial issues in this context. This book provides a summary of the neurobiology of innate and treatment-induced repair mechanisms after hypoxia and reviews the state of the art for human therapeutics in relation to promoting behavioral recovery after stroke. Essential reading for stroke physicians, neurologists, rehabilitation physicians and neuropsychologists.
