Neuroplasticity, Motor Learning, and Aerobic Exercise w/ Jason Neva | Webinar Nov. 3, 2020

Jason Neva, PhD Assistant Professor at the School of Kinesiology and Physical Activity Sciences at the Université de Montréal. In this PERFORM Colloquium webinar, Dr. Neva presents his recent work on the neurophysiological mechanisms impacted by motor learning, aerobic exercise and repetitive brain stimulation. Particularly, the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation to measure and modulate cortical excitability and connectivity between brain regions will be highlighted. Findings will include healthy individuals as well as people with stroke and those with Parkinson’s disease. He will also discuss the implications of these findings to promote positive neuroplasticity, improve rehabilitation of upper-limb function after stroke and maintain motor function in people with Parkinson’s disease.
