Mobility improves after massive strokes when rats receive electronic brain stimulation.<br />According to UPI, the findings from California researchers offer hope for treatment in humans.<br />UC San Francisco scientists found the stimulation restores brain cell activity associated with efficient movement.<br />Scientists zapped rats with low frequency oscillations in the damaged areas of their brains.<br />Doing so appeared to improve motor function by up to 60%.<br />The only way to aid human stroke victims now is physical therapy.<br />However, it often offers no improvement for those whose stroke damage is too extensive. <br />
