Episode 1: Brain injury and rehabilitation  In the first episode of the new series, host Professor Belinda Lennox talks to Jenny Clarke, CEO and co-founder of the charity SameYou.  SameYou’s vision is to transform the way brain injury survivors and their loved ones are supported through emotional, mental health and cognitive recovery services, and was founded following Jenny’s daughter Emilia’s experiences of brain injury and recovery.  They are joined by Professor Heidi Johansen-Berg, Director of Oxford’s Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging(WIN) and head of the Plasticity Group which studies how the brain changes when we learn, get older, or when we recover from damage such as stroke.  The conversation delves into what happens to the brain when it suffers an injury or stroke, the role of neuroplasticity in recovery and the vital role of nurses in the future of rehabilitation.

S4 Ep1: Brain injury and rehabilitation with Jenny Clarke and Professor Heidi Johansen-Berg

Dr. Heidi Johansen-Berg’s interest in neuroscience was surprisingly realized through philosophy and psychology classes at university, where she indulged her curiosity about human behavior and humanity’s fundamental questions. She eventually moved deeper into experimental psychology and empirical research, entering a Neurosciences Ph.D. program at Oxford University. During her graduate years, she used techniques including fMRI and TMS to better understand the brain regions underlying patients’ successful recovery from stroke. Staying at Oxford for her postdoc, she dove further into studying imaging methods in cognitive neuroscience and fostered fruitful collaborations with mathematicians, engineers, and biologists. Heidi ultimately played a key role in the development of diffusion tractography (DTI), which permits improved non-invasive imaging of physical connections between areas in the living human brain. In her interview with Cristiana, she discusses her abrupt transition from postdoc to PI and how her lab harnesses the capabilities of DTI to uncover the mysteries surrounding white matter and its role in development, disease, and plasticity.
