Motor reorganization after stroke: From pathophysiology to treatment strategies
Location: Room 101 - 11/3/23, 11:00 AM - 11/3/23, 11:30 AM (Europe/Amsterdam) (30 minutes)

Dr. Caroline Tscherpel is a neurologist and clinical neuroscientist. Since her recent change to the University Hospital Frankfurt in June 2023, she leads the Translational Neurophysiology Laboratory at the Department of Neurology. Her research is focused on reorganization and rehabilitation after stroke and the use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to enhance functional recovery and neural plasticity.


In her talk Dr. Caroline Tscherpel will outline the concepts and fundamental mechanisms of motor system reorganization after stroke and common approaches of neuromodulation to enhance functional recovery after stroke. By illustrating the boundaries of our recent strategies, she will raise the need for new innovative methodologies to inform about post-stroke reorganization at an individual level and will glimpse towards promising approaches such as the combination of TMS-EEG or ultra-high resolution MR imaging.
