Targeted Brain Stimulation
as a Treatment for Post-Stroke
Neurological Impairment
About the team
NEMESIS (Neurological Mechanisms of Injury and Sleep-like Cellular Dynamics) is a six-year, EU-funded research initiative aimed at restoring brain connectivity after injury. Led by Professor Maurizio Corbetta and involving an international team across Italy and Spain, the project explores how focal brain lesions, such as those caused by stroke, disrupt communication between brain regions.
The core hypothesis suggests that these injured circuits enter a sleep-like state – preventing recovery. By integrating experimental neuroscience, advanced imaging, and computational modeling, NEMESIS seeks to decode these mechanisms and design targeted brain stimulation strategies to reactivate dormant circuits and support neurological healing.
