Brief description The adult human brain is unable to repair itself: axons do not regenerate effectively and there is limited reorganisation of remaining projections. Our research directly addresses how to form anatomically accurate and thus functionally useful networks through improving axonal regeneration per se, but more importantly it investigates clinically relevant, non-invasive methods that encourage the remaining nerve cells to reorganise, maximising the surviving resources of the damaged brain.
