The role of neuromodulation and synaptic plasticity mechanisms in brain areas affected by Parkinson’s disease and stroke
John Reynolds is an Associate Professor in Neuroscience in the Department of Anatomy at University of Otago in New Zealand. His research team studies the application of neuroplasticity approaches to Parkinson’s disease and stroke. His interest is in applying the principles of neuromodulation to modify synaptic plasticity and recover function in affected brain areas. John graduated in Medicine in 1994, and then returned to University of Otago after a few years in practice to undertake PhD studies.
He has received an international Brain Research Young Investigator Award and a National Tertiary Teaching Award, and he currently holds a Rutherford Discovery Fellowship from the Royal Society of NZ. He served 5 years as chair of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Neurological Foundation of NZ and is a member of the Directorate for BRNZ.
