Congratulations to Richard Hardstone, MEng, Ph.D. on receiving a MGH ECOR Fund for Medical Discovery Clinical Research Fellowship Award for his project, “Establishing real-time, mechanistic biomarkers of vagus nerve stimulation for stroke motor rehabilitation.”
Our recent publication in Neurology details an innovative method that directly correlates brain regions with patterns of paralysis in patients follow their strokes. These finding could offer patients a pathway for enhanced rehabilitation. Leveraging his expertise as the Director of the Neurorecovery Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. David Lin’s work through the Stroke …
