John Rothwell

John Rothwell is a neuroscientist and professor known for his research on how the brain and nervous system control movement and behavior. His work often explores how the brain's motor areas function, especially in relation to diseases like Parkinson's and stroke recovery. Rothwell uses techniques like brain stimulation and neuroimaging to understand neural connections and improve treatments. His research helps advance knowledge of brain plasticity—the brain's ability to adapt—and aims to develop better therapies for neurological disorders, ultimately improving patients' quality of life.
