The impact

Hemorrhagic stroke is a devastating disease where blood vessels in the brain rupture and damage the neural tissue, with part of this damage due to the build-up of iron and reactive oxygen species.

The study

This project seeks to see if living in an enriched environment and physical rehabilitation can improve the brain’s natural clearance of these toxic substances.
