Exploring the Future of Stroke Recovery: TMS and Its Growing Role

Stroke recovery is a big deal, and scientists are always looking for new ways to help people bounce back. One method that's been getting a lot of attention is transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS. This technique uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It's not a new idea, but how it's being used and studied is evolving. Researchers have been...

Boosting Knee Recovery: Early Rehab and Brain Stimulation

You've probably heard that early rehabilitation is key after a sports knee injury. But what if we added something extra to the mix? Let's talk about combining early rehab with a special brain treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Researchers wanted to see if this combo could speed up recovery for athletes with knee injuries. They look...

Sports Concussions: Lasting Changes in Brain Circuits

You might think that after recovering from a sports concussion, everything goes back to normal. But recent findings say something different. Even after clinical recovery, people with a history of sports-related concussions (SRC) are at a higher risk for future injuries. Scientists suspect that the brain adjusts or adapts in a way that's not always obvious, and these ...
