Air Pollution and Its Adverse Effects on the Central Nervous System.

Air pollution is recognized as a significant public health problem and is associated with illnesses of the central nervous system (CNS) as well as neuroinflammation and neuropathology. Air pollution may cause chronic brain inflammation, white matter abnormalities, and microglia activation, which increases the risk of autism spectrum disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, stroke, and multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: A literature review was done on "PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science" on the relationship of air pollution with MS and stroke, using the keywords "air pollution" OR "pollution"; "ambient air pollution," "particulate matter, ozone, black carbon" AND "stroke" OR "cerebrovascular diseases," "multiple sclerosis," "neuroinflammation," or "neurodegeneration.

Neurobiology of Amphetamine use in Stroke Recovery Combined with Rehabilitative Training and Brain Stimulation.

Stroke is a physiological disorder involving a prolonged local interruption of cerebral blood flow. It leads to massive neuronal death and causes short-term or long-lasting functional impairment. Most stroke victims regain some neural function weeks or months following a stroke, but this recovery can plateau six months or more after the injury.
