About

Fujiko Hotta is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the restoration of motor function following neurological injury. Her work lies at the intersection of sensorimotor integration, neurofeedback, and brain plasticity, with a particular focus on post-stroke recovery. Hotta’s most-cited study, "Sensorimotor Connectivity after Motor Exercise with Neurofeedback in Post-Stroke Patients with Hemiplegia" (2019), has garnered 49 citations and is a cornerstone of her research. This paper demonstrated that combining motor exercise with real-time neurofeedback can significantly enhance functional connectivity between sensorimotor cortical regions, offering a novel, non-invasive pathway to improve motor outcomes in hemiplegic patients. Her contributions are notable for bridging the gap between basic neuroscience and clinical application, providing evidence-based protocols that leverage the brain’s inherent plasticity. Hotta’s work has been instrumental in advancing personalized rehabilitation strategies, and she is recognized for her rigorous experimental designs that quantify neural changes alongside behavioral gains. For students and researchers, her studies offer a clear model of how targeted neurofeedback can rewire damaged circuits, making her a key figure in the evolving field of neurorehabilitation.
