... MLC901 effect includes its ability to stimulate the secretion of BDNF which is an important growth factor reg-ulating neuronal survival [ 22 ] and brain plasticity [ 23 ]. In vitro data showed that a 6-week MLC901 treatment (6 mg/ml) increased BDNF expression in cortical neurons [ 5 ]. Figure 2 gives...

... environment significantly enhances outcome after brain infarction. The efficacy of environmental factors and pharmacological interventions in facilitating long-term recovery needs further evaluation. To what extent functional improvement is due to brain plasticity or to compensatory mechanisms remains...

Both noninvasive and invasive brain stimulation techniques, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation and direct cortical stimulation...

... in the first few days likely results from edema resolution and/or from reperfusion of the ischemic penumbra, a large part of the recovery afterwards is due mainly to brain plasticity, by which some regions of the brain assume the functions previously performed by the damaged areas.
