Employing Brain Stimulation Device to Enhance Stroke Recovery
From: ECN - 11/24/2014

Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center are trying to
help patients who have suffered a stroke to improve arm movement by
stimulating the brain using a device called a Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulator (TMS). By using TMS to reduce brain activity on the side that was
not injured by the stroke, the injured side may have a better chance of
recovering.

The idea is that when one side of the brain is damaged by a stroke, the
healthy side tends to generate much more activity to compensate, but that may
actually prevent the injured side from recovering.
