Research in recovery from neurologic disease

The brain has an immense capacity to reorganize its connections. This reorganization is called ‘neuroplasticity’, which is useful after a stroke, because new connections help recovery. Neuroplasticity can sometimes be undesirable and lead to brain dysfunction, such as in the case of dystonia. In the Brain Recovery Lab, we study neuroplasticity to better understand disorders like dystonia and stroke and to develop new ways to help the brain reorganize for recovery.
