Prestigious international publication

 

   Our latest research article has been published in the prestigious international journal Neurotherapeutics under the title “Electric Muscle Stimulation Attenuates Neuroinflammation and Improves the Outcome of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Mice.” The research was led by Dr. Ákos Menyhárt. The findings demonstrated that experimentally applied electrical muscle stimulation in the early phase after stroke significantly reduces cerebral infarct size and neuroinflammation, while improving neurological outcome. Congratulations to the authors on their high-quality research!
