Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease that particularly affects the nerves of the central nervous system (CNS). MS results in the degradation of the myelin sheath surrounding the axon, which is crucial for effective transmission of nerve signals. MS can be detected using lumbar punctures to look for elevated oligoclonal levels and using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The MRI can screen for plaques in the CNS, indicating the severity and probability of progression of the disease. Plaques are regions of nerves where the myelin has been removed from the nerves, preventing them from conducting the electrical signals necessary for …

Neuroplasticity has been a rapidly expanding area of research, and its findings have elucidated the potential of taking advantage of some of its components for the treatment of various neural pathologies. Stroke is the most common cause of long-term disability, and it is a disease process that affects many people. There are many rehabilitation programs that seek to restore a patient’s motor and cognitive functions after stroke; if not fully, then at least partially. Unfortunately, mental health changes contribute in large part to the overall disability of a patient, but these changes are not always targeted in these programs. In …
