In this episode of Brainstorming with Clare de Lore, we hear from the Centre for Brain Research's Professor Alan Barber about about some of the remarkable progress being made in stroke treatment and prevention. 

Professor Barber also talks about the new research happening right here in New Zealand for stroke treatments. 

Clare also talks to stroke survivor Raewyn Jacobs and her husband Peter. They tell the story of Raewyn receiving one of New Zealand's first clot retrieval surgeries.
