UCLA researchers have discovered a potential first drug that can fully replicate the effects of stroke rehabilitation in mice, marking a significant advancement in stroke recovery treatments.

• First drug to fully reproduce the effects of physical stroke rehabilitation in model mice.
• No drugs currently available for stroke recovery, requiring patients to undergo physical rehabilitation.
• Identified a loss of brain connections that occur after a stroke and how they affect movement control.
• Found that some of these lost connections are in parvalbumin neurons, which help generate gamma oscillations linking neurons together.
• Developed two candidate drugs, one of which (DDL-920) produced significant recovery in movement control in mice.
