In this episode, we explore the science of stroke recovery with two leading researchers, Dr. Demi Brizee and Dr. Melanie Fleming. Demi reflects on her journey from completing a DPhil at Oxford, where she investigated inhibitory neurons and the hippocampus, to applying her expertise in broader neuroscience contexts. Melanie then shines a light on the crucial role of sleep, explaining how good sleep hygiene supports brain repair and recovery after stroke. We round off with a closer look at the different types of strokes, ischemic and haemorrhagic, and discuss tenecteplase, a promising new treatment shaping the future of stroke care.
