Scientists have conducted a new and important study that could show that the human brain has a very small margin of time when it can be restored after a stroke.. And this time is only two weeks.

Researchers from the University of South Australia have experimentally proved the fact that within only 2 weeks after a stroke, the human brain has little time when there is a chance for recovery and restructuring of an important organ..

This suggests that patients have a chance for recovery and maximum recovery after an attack.. But if this process slows down, for uncertain reasons, then in the future all recovery processes will sharply reduce their effectiveness.. The results of the new scientific work were published in the print edition of Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair.

The scientists conducted their experiment in London and Adelaide, where they tracked the recovery of 60 stroke patients for one year after an episode of acute cerebral circulatory disorder.. This experiment helped to prove that the phenomenon in the form of a window of time for self-healing of the brain exists not only in animals (this was proved a little earlier), but also in humans..

On the first day after the stroke, when there is a blockage of the arteries in the brain, the organ is most ready for changes in neural connections, thereby increasing its plasticity.. Because of this, doctors need to stop sparing their patients after a stroke, taking into account any physical therapy.. If treatment and recovery are not started in time, the patient may once and for all lose some stable and important skills..

This study should help to reconsider the tactics of treatment and recovery of patients after an ischemic stroke of the brain..
