Imaging, neuroplasticity, learning, recovery
Heidi Johansen-Berg FRS FMedSci is Pro-Vice Chancellor (Strategic Initiatives) at the University of Oxford and Associate Head (Research and Innovation) in the Medical Sciences Division. Heidi also is a Wellcome Principal Research Fellow and member of the Oxford University Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (OxCIN). Heidi's research group investigates plasticity and recovery in the sensorimotor system, with particular focus on white matter plasticity and activity-dependent myelination. Her research focuses on how the brain changes with learning, experience, and damage. As well as shedding light on how the healthy brain responds to change, her work also has implications for understanding and treating disease.
