Theresa A. Jones

Theresa A. Jones is a researcher at the University of Texas at Austin and the Institute for Neuroscience. Her research is on the brain changes following stroke, in particular rehabilitation strategies and the brain changes associated with them. She primarily tests rats and uses theEndothelin-1 stroke model. Most recently she has expanded her work into the field of microstimulation mapping of the rat cortex.
