Hervey-Jumper Lab

Our lab studies language, motor, and cognitive recovery in brain tumor patients, with the primary objective of helping patients rehabilitate and return to their daily lives. We are investigating genetic and molecular contributions to cortical and subcortical plasticity, as well as strategies to promote brain recovery and repair.
