A team of researchers at the University of South Florida investigating the short and long - term effects of ischemic stroke in a rodent model has found that stroke can cause long - term damage to the blood - spinal cord barrier (BSCB), creating a «toxic environment» in the spinal cord that might leave stroke survivors susceptible to motor dysfunction and disease pathology.
