Dr Nick Ward
Neuroimaging of Plasticity and Recovery
We use structural and functional brain imaging to study how reorganisation of brain networks supports recovery of upper limb movement after stroke.
Our goal is to understand the mechanisms of recovery so that we might predict both optimal treatments of upper limb impairment and long term outcomes after stroke.
