About
G. Bruce Pike is a leading researcher in neuroimaging and stroke recovery, with a focus on understanding how brain microstructure influences motor and sensory function after injury. His work integrates advanced diffusion MRI techniques to probe the integrity of key white matter pathways, particularly the corticospinal tract (CST) and sensory tracts, and link these measures to clinical outcomes. Pike’s major contributions include identifying which CST lesion metrics best predict recovery of motor and proprioceptive impairments after stroke—a critical step toward personalized rehabilitation. His 2019 paper on comparing CST lesion biomarkers has garnered 34 citations, while his related work on diffusion properties in sensory and motor pathways (20 citations) has deepened understanding of proprioceptive deficits. More recently, Pike has explored limb preference changes following focused-ultrasound thalamotomy for tremor, a novel application of his expertise in sensorimotor systems. By bridging advanced imaging with clinical neurology, Pike’s research provides actionable insights for stroke prognosis and treatment, making him a key figure in translational neuroimaging.
