BIAC Faculty Affiliate, Dr. Wayne Feng, and his team were highlighted in Duke Today's "Duke Views" for their work in transforming stroke recovery. The image features Dr. Salman Ikramuddin and Dr. Charalambos C. Charalambous demonstrating high intensity EEG to measure brain signals while walking.
Merenstein et al. reported that structural brain connectivity, as measured by high-resolution diffusion-weighted MRI, improved the ability to predict age-related alterations in brain function and cognitive performance, relative to standard spatial resolution. These results may assist with the early identification of adults who are at heightened risk for cognitive decline.
Alexandra Dwulit of the Morey Lab was promoted from a Non-Duke Student Intern to a full-time Clinical Research Intern. She is also currently pursuing her Ph.D. at NC State in Comparative Biomedical Sciences. Congrats Alex!
BIAC Faculty Affiliate, Dr. Wayne Feng, and his team were highlighted by the Duke University School of Medicine for building one of the nation’s top-quality stroke programs here at Duke. His team focuses on utilizing non-invasive brain stimulation tools to treat post-stroke complications. Through methods such as low-intensity intensity focused ultrasound stimulation (LIFUS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), Feng and his team are transforming stroke recovery and offering hope to stroke survivors.
