Since 2006, World Stroke Day has been observed annually on October 29. The aim of the event is to raise awareness about prevention, the rapid recognition of symptoms, available treatments, and effective rehabilitation. It also provides an opportunity to highlight research related to stroke. The main focus of the HCEMM-USZ Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism Research Group at our Department is the study of stroke pathophysiology and treatment opportunities. In connection with World Stroke Day, Eszter Farkas published a science communication article titled „Stroke Research: Achievements, Challenges, and Hopes Ahead”, which can be read by clicking on the title.
