About

Noemi Barsotti is a pioneering researcher in neurorehabilitation, whose work bridges robotics and neuroscience to address the critical challenge of post-stroke motor recovery. Her key research areas include robotic rehabilitation, cortical plasticity, and neuromodulation. In her most-cited study, "Combining robotics with enhanced serotonin-driven cortical plasticity improves post-stroke motor recovery" (2021, 6 citations), Barsotti tackles a fundamental limitation of current robotic therapies: their inability to sufficiently enhance neural plasticity. She proposes a novel strategy that integrates robotic training with serotonin-driven plasticity mechanisms, aiming to amplify the brain’s adaptive capacity and improve functional outcomes. This work highlights her innovative approach to merging engineering and biology, offering a clinically relevant pathway for more effective rehabilitation. Though early in her career, Barsotti’s contributions are already shaping the future of stroke recovery, demonstrating how targeted plasticity enhancement can unlock the full potential of robotic systems. Her research holds promise for translating lab-based discoveries into tangible therapies, making her a rising voice in the quest to restore motor function after neurological injury.
