Neurogenesis and gliogenesis after focal brain ischemia. Modulation by enriched environment and exercise
(2005)
New neurons are formed from dividing neural stem cells in restricted areas in the adult mammalian brain: the dentate gyrus of the hippocampal formation (DG) and the forebrain subventricular zone (SVZ). New glia also form ...
Characteristics of the functional independence measure in patients with neurological disorders. Measurement through Rasch analysis
(2006)
The Functional Independence Measure (FIMTM) is an internationally widely used outcome measure, measuring disability in terms of dependence or need of assistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the structural ...
