Heidi Johansen-Berg

Heidi Johansen-Berg (* before 1976) is a British neuroscientist and university professor .

Live and act

Johansen-Berg studied experimental psychology at Oxford University from 1994 . After graduation, she continued her studies there - funded by the Wellcome Trust - and obtained a doctorate in neuroscience in 2002. She is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and Director of the Wellcome Center for Integrative Neuroimaging at Oxford University. She researches neuronal plasticity after brain damage and during natural aging processes.

Johansen-Berg was chair of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping from 2010 to 2012 . In 2016 she was awarded the Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellowship.

research

Johansen-Berg made an important contribution to a better understanding of neuronal plasticity after brain lesions . She also published one of the first longitudinal fMRI studies on rehabilitation after strokes, in which she was able to show that positive treatment successes are associated with increased stress on various motor areas.
