This course will focus on how advanced brain imaging can inform our understanding of the behavioral manifestations of changes in brain structure and function in neurologic conditions. Using two examples: stroke and concussion, common changes in brain structure and function thought to be associated with cognitive and motor impairments will be described. Finally, how the clinician can exploit the information provided by human brain imaging to improve patient outcomes will be discussed.

Chapters & learning objectives

Using Brain Imaging to Identify Stroke-Related Changes in Structure and Function

1. Using Brain Imaging to Identify Stroke-Related Changes in Structure and Function

It is now known that the brain maintains the capacity to reorganize and recover after stroke. This chapter will summarize the seminal brain imaging findings that have redefined how we conceptualize the processes underlying stroke recovery.

Using Brain Imaging to Detect Changes in the Brain After Concussion

2. Using Brain Imaging to Detect Changes in the Brain After Concussion

This chapter will cover the latest neuroimaging findings that are improving our understanding of how the brain is affected by concussion. Potential imaging biomarkers that are sensitive to post-concussion recovery milestones will be identified.

Informing Rehabilitation with Brain Imaging

3. Informing Rehabilitation with Brain Imaging

This chapter will summarize and identify the rehabilitation applications of the content previously covered regarding brain imaging in heath and disease. Specific examples of current and future uses of imaging data to directly inform clinical practice will be highlighted.
