About
Supriya Massood’s research lies at the intersection of neurorehabilitation, stroke recovery, and motor system plasticity. Her work focuses on understanding how the brain reorganizes after stroke, particularly through the lens of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and corticospinal tract integrity. In her landmark 2019 study, Massood demonstrated that the reorganization of bilateral primary motor cortex (M1) topography following early, intensive hand-focused upper limb rehabilitation is critically dependent on the integrity of the ipsilesional corticospinal tract. This finding, which has garnered 36 citations, provides a mechanistic explanation for why some patients respond to therapy while others do not, and it challenges one-size-fits-all rehabilitation approaches. By establishing that the presence or absence of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) early post-stroke is a robust predictor of long-term recovery, Massood has helped refine patient stratification for clinical trials and personalized therapy. Her contributions are shaping how clinicians design and time interventions, making her a key voice in evidence-based neurorehabilitation.
