These very questions will now be examined in detail by an international team of neuroscientists led by Dr. H.J.M. Barnett of University Hospital, London, Ont., and financed by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The team expects to study 1,000 stroke-prone patients in medical centers round the world. Half of them will receive the operation; the other half will get conventional therapy, which in some cases...
