Dr. Lara Boyd is a neuroscientist and physical therapist who is currently a professor at the University of British Columbia. Using advanced brain imaging techniques, she has developed expertise in mapping how behaviours, environments, and experiences affect brain health and learning. Her work includes publishing over 180 scientific papers and a TEDx talk (After this your brain will not be the same) with over 30 million views. In 2020, she became a Wall scholar turning her attention to developing understanding of the importance of the arts for brain health.
What we know about the brain is changing rapidly as advances in technologies allow us to make important discoveries. Dr. Boyd's research efforts are leading to the development of new and effective therapeutic methods, some of which have applications for people with Parkinson's, including leveraging neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to grow and "rewire" neural networks based on an individual's learning and life experiences. In this talk, Dr. Boyd will speak about the applications of neuroplasticity in managing Parkinson’s symptoms.
