In this article, it discusses that squirrels may be able to stop people from having strokes and possibly help recovery. When a stroke happens, the is a insufficient blood flow to the brain. This could cause lack of oxygen and sugar and result in a droopy face, slurred speech, and dizziness. When a squirrel hibernates, they also have a lack of oxygen and sugar to their brain but there is a protective process that allows their brain to still work when they awake in the spring. This process is called SUMOylation.

This article is extremely good because it allows people to recover from something people usually don’t recover from. I provides hope for people who may have family history of stroke and says that even if you unfortunately have a stroke, there will soon be a safe way to recover from it. I think it is extremely good that science is evolving and making things possible people even 25 years ago thought would happen
