Thanks to the organisers of @ecvp.bsky.social for doing an amazing job with organising ECVP in Mainz this year! Many thanks for all the hard work - it was a great opportunity to showcase our work looking at #visual #stroke and #rehabilitation, and even my first time chairing a session!

New paper đź‘€ - We looked at how #lesion location and size in a large number of #stroke survivors with #visual #field deficits affects ability to #see within the blind field. This paper was a huge collaborative and such a joy to work on. Summary below. jneurosci.org/content/jneu...

Such a privilege to speak at #UKstrokeforum yesterday about our research looking at changes in the #brain after visual rehabilitation #post-stroke. This session, chaired by @laurenhepworth.bsky.social, showcased the impact of stroke on #vision, and what we need to do to improve treatment đź§
Our paper is finally out! In this registered report, we found that #visualtraining can improve #visionloss post #stroke and these improvements are supported by changes in #whitematter in visual pathways. academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...
