Brief description Stroke is the #1 cause of adult disability in Australia and #2 cause of death. About 60,000 Australians suffer a stroke each year while about 250,000 live with the disabilities of stroke, costing over $2B/year. The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and University of Adelaide will study why the Npas4 gene switches on after stroke and the role it plays in brain repair. Future health benefits may be tests to help improve stroke outcome in patients and therapy to decrease loss of brain cells after stroke.
