Lara A. Boyd, PT, PhD, fCAHS, professor and distinguished university scholar at the University of British Columbia, will speak on, “Exploiting Neuroplasticity to enhance motor learning in healthy and damaged brains" at this upcoming research seminar. SKB room 2200 (at the top of the north stairs, take a sharp left; room is in the northeast corner of the building).

Abstract:

This talk will review recent data illustrating how neuroplastic change takes place in the human brain. It will discuss how interventions can be applied to stimulate motor learning. Data illustrating these processes in healthy human brain will be contrasted with that from individuals who suffer from brain damage such as stroke.
