Biography
In my 25 years as a scientist, I have focused on animal models of stroke and have spent the last ten years devoted to neonatal brain injury. We have created a neonatal rat model of arterial ischemic stroke and have used the model to investigate aspects of neuroprotection and neurological recovery. Since joining Dr. Carmel’s lab, I have focused on experiments on the plasticity of corticospinal connections after neonatal pyramidotomy.
