Faces of UVic Research: E. Paul Zehr
Dr. E. Paul Zehr is a professor of Neuroscience and Kinesiology, and the Director of the Centre for Biomedical Research and Rehabilitation Neuroscience Lab at the University of Victoria. In this video he discusses his research into the recovery of walking after the nervous system has been damaged. He also explains the nervous systems' capacity to change, either after injury or in improvement in all individuals.
