About
Nici Wenderoth is a leading researcher in human motor control and neurorehabilitation, with a particular focus on understanding and improving brain function in children with cerebral palsy. Her work bridges systems neuroscience and clinical application, using functional MRI to map how the developing brain reorganizes after early injury. In her highly cited 2012 study (69 citations), she demonstrated how brain activation differs in children with unilateral cerebral palsy during active and passive movements, providing critical insights into sensorimotor plasticity. A subsequent 2013 study (27 citations) extended this work by examining somatosensory discrimination, revealing distinct neural recruitment patterns in affected children. Wenderoth’s contributions have been instrumental in characterizing the neural substrates of motor impairment and recovery, informing targeted rehabilitation strategies. Her research is widely recognized for its rigorous methodology and translational impact, making her a key figure in pediatric neurorehabilitation and developmental cognitive neuroscience.
