Research project funded by NINDS to investigate how lesion location and size impact post-stroke neuroplasticity using rat models, with the goal of developing targeted therapies for stroke recovery.
Description
This project studies the neural mechanisms underlying stroke recovery using animal models, focusing on lesion location and size. It employs electrophysiology, functional imaging, and cortical inactivation techniques to understand how lesion characteristics affect neural circuits involved in recovery, aiming to inform personalized neurorehabilitation therapies.
