Neuroplasticity Brain Study
What is the aim of the Neuroplasticity Brain Study?
Burn injury is likely to drive changes in the brain, known as neuroplasticity, but we do not know if neuroplasticity following burn injury is functionally beneficial or maladaptive. If we can harness beneficial neuroplasticity, we can develop interventions to target the brain and enhance patient outcomes following burn injury.
Watch Professor Wood talk about groundbreaking research on neuroplasticity following burn injuries and how this study could redefine burn injury treatment and recovery.
This study has been approved by the SMHS Ethics committee RGS0000004279.
