NCAN Seminar Series

Speaker: Dr. Steven C. Cramer, MD, MSc, FAAN, FAHA, FASNR
Title: Brain Repair After Stroke
Time: January 28, 11 AM EST

Dr. Cramer graduated with Highest Honors from University of California, Berkeley; received his medical degree from University of Southern California; did a residency in internal medicine at UCLA; and did a residency in neurology plus a fellowship in cerebrovascular disease at Massachusetts General Hospital. He also earned a Masters Degree in Clinical Investigation from Harvard Medical School.

His research focuses on neural repair after central nervous system injury in humans, with an emphasis on stroke and on recovery of movement. Treatments examined include robotics, cellular therapies, a monoclonal antibody, brain stimulation, drugs, and telehealth methods. A major emphasis is on translating new drugs and devices to reduce disability after stroke, and on developing biomarkers to individualize therapy for each person’s needs. Dr. Cramer has received the Stroke Rehabilitation Award from the American Heart Association, the Barbro B. Johansson Award in Stroke Recovery from the World Stroke Organization, the Award for Excellence in Post-Acute Stroke Rehabilitation from the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine, and the Outstanding Neurorehabilitation Clinician Scientist Award from the American Society of Neurorehabilitation. He also co-edited the book “Brain Repair after Stroke,” and is the author of over 350 manuscripts.

Pre-SfN Workshop
Neurotechnologies for Targeted Plasticity: A Practical Introduction to H-Reflex Conditioning & Paired Associative Stimulation

October 3, 2024
The workshop begins with talks providing background on the physiology of HROC and PAS. Participants are divided into small groups to observe demonstrations and participate in hands-on exercises with HROC and PAS. Workshop participants will learn to use the Evoked Potential Operant Conditioning System (EPOCS), BioCircuit™ Operant Conditioning Software, and Spike2© (CED), practice the methodologies used for adaptive neurotechnologies, and design and implement experiments.
Candidates can apply by submitting their curriculum vitae or NIH biosketch and a brief statement (≤ one page) expressing why you want to participate to TNP@neurotechcenter.org.

SfN Satellite Symposium Targeted Neuroplasticity to Enhance Rehabilitation
October 4, 2024
The Symposium comprises 13 talks that describe many of the most exciting new protocols – non-invasive or invasive – that target beneficial plasticity to critical sites in the injured CNS, thereby enabling wider beneficial plasticity that markedly enhances recovery of function. Confirmed speakers to date include Stuart Baker, Jocelyne Bloch, Gregoire Courtine, Steven Cramer, Julius Dewald, James Grau, Ronaldo Ichiyama, Lee Miller, Dimitry Sayenko, Aiko Thompson, Doug Weber, Monica Perez, and Jon Wolpaw. The Symposium runs from 8:30 am-5:30 pm. It includes light refreshments, lunch, and a lunch-time poster session. Registration is $100 ($50 for students, postdoctoral fellows, and residents). Contact us if the registration fee is an impediment.
