| Citation | Johansen-Berg’s research focuses on brain structure, function and plasticity - and how to influence plasticity - principally for recovery of function after stroke, but also in the developing and ageing brain. She has performed elegant investigations of functional plasticity using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and has demonstrated that brain connections change their structure with experience, particularly during mental activity associated with learning new skills. The basic discoveries she has made about brain plasticity, as well as the techniques she has developed to study and enhance it, are now inspiring fundamental new discoveries and applications that will ultimately benefit patient recovery. |
