A career development grant awarded to support research on brain circuit repair mechanisms after stroke, aiming to enhance recovery and reduce disability.
Description
This mentored career development award facilitates the candidate's transition to independence as a physician-scientist studying molecular and neuronal mechanisms of stroke recovery. The research examines the role of axonal sprouting in restoring cortical circuits and global brain networks after stroke, testing hypotheses about structural substrates mediating recovery.
