Research Focus
Professor Terrence R Stanford's research lab focuses on understanding how the brain can recover from vision loss due to stroke or trauma, specifically hemianopia, a condition that causes blindness in one half of the visual field. The lab employs primate models to investigate a novel rehabilitation approach that combines visual and auditory cues to promote healing and improve visual capabilities. By exploring the neurobiological mechanisms involved in this rehabilitation, the lab aims to inform future treatments for patients with similar conditions and enhance their quality of life.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
