The Sixteenth UCI Distinguished Lecture Series on Brain, Learning and Memory - Helping the Brain to Repair Itself After Injury

Speaker: Dr. Steven Cramer, University of California, Irvine

Most patients show some degree of spontaneous recovery after a brain injury such as a stroke, although it is usually incomplete. Recent studies provide insight into the biological mechanisms responsible for this spontaneous recovery. Dr Cramer, a leading researcher and physician in stroke recovery, will discuss these mechanisms and explore emerging therapies that aim to improve brain repair and thus reduce disability.
