Thank you for your post; very helpful information. And I’m sorry to hear of your loved one having a stroke. I hope they’re able to recover well.

That’s right.

You said, “Sleep and Sunlight” but I break it down into “Melatonin and Vitamin D” even if you don’t get enough sleep and sunlight.

Though the sleep is too critical to miss, because the new neurons rewrite themselves while you sleep.

Oh, that’s right….

Visualization is one.

They did rehab and visualization studies and people got function back without exercising, if they visualized. (It is the brain you are exercising when you visualize.)

Also, you can do it on vegan, as long as they supplement B12 and Omega 3. I say that, because Dr. Greger NutritionFacts.org showed arteries blocked 51% after one year of Keto. It might have been a Dr. Ornish study.

They showed the images and half the people I care about are doing Keto and I cried when I saw the arteries.

Keto might be temporarily good for the brain, by one of my relatives just had a stroke and THAT is NOT good for the brain.

Also D3.

If I remember properly PubMed listed studies with

B3, Omega 3, D3

And obviously no matter what you need B12, Magnesium and to not have any deficiencies of any vitamin and mineral.

You missed a few things, which increase neurogenesis.

My list has:
TMS
Direct Current
Acupuncture
ultrasound
LLLT
Vibration (Harvard used vibrating insoles)
aerobic exercise before or after rehab
and repetition of whatever you are trying to get function for….

My husband Kurt had a grade 5 SAH with hydrocephalus 13 months ago. He had coils put in a month later had a VP Shunt placed in his head and6 months ago had more Platinum coils placed in his 18mm Aneurysm because if compaction. His remaining deficits are severe short term memory and lack of focus. I am hopeful this article will give us new avenues to regenerate his braincells. Thank you
