👉 Focused Cortical Regeneration (FCR) research aims to enhance the brain's ability to repair and regenerate damaged neural circuits, particularly in areas affected by injury or disease. This approach involves identifying and targeting specific regions of the cortex that can be stimulated to promote neural plasticity and regeneration. Techniques include the use of non-invasive brain stimulation methods like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), as well as pharmacological interventions to modulate neurotrophic factors and reduce inhibitory environments. FCR seeks to restore function in conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases by leveraging the brain's inherent capacity for self-repair, potentially leading to improved cognitive and motor outcomes.
