Changes in bone structure, lean mass, and glucose metabolism within the first six months post-stroke: a prospective study
Supervisors: A/Prof Julie Bernhardt, Dr Sandra Luliano-Burns,Dr Marco Pang,
This is a small prospective study to identify the changes in bone, muscle and glucose metabolism that occur within the first 6 months after stroke and their relationship to motor recovery and activity. The study employs state of the art technology to measure bone changes over time. The information from this study will help investigators build exercise based interventions with a view to slowing, preventing bone and muscle loss after stroke.  View project details

Characterisation of the response of the auditory cortex to intra-cochlear electrical stimulation
Supervisor:Dr James Fallon
Intra-cochlear electrical stimulation, similar to that received by patients with a cochlear implant, results in activation of the auditory cortex. This project aims to characterise this activation, by recording from neurons within the auditory cortex of the rat View project details
