Welcome to my homepage. I’m interested in how we can help people recover after stroke, brain injury or other neurological conditions. Stroke is a global leading cause of adult disability with 1 in 4 adults (aged 25 or above) likely to experience a stroke in their lifetime. Improved recovery therapies will have significant value for society.

I’m fortunate to work directly with patients in both a research and clinical capacity. I’m fascinated by how humans learn, how the brain works and what we might be able to do to improve neurorehabilitation. My work explores and evaluates innovative solutions to enhance recovery. Beneficial therapies can be rapidly translated to clinical practice through the Brain Recovery... Read more

About me

Here's a little more about me….

Dr Brenton Hordacre is a Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy (UniSA) with a PhD in neurorehabilitation from Flinders University. He leads the Plasticity Theme within IIMPACT in Health research concentration at the University of South Australia. Dr Hordacre has previously held an NHMRC Fellowship to conduct research into new technologies to help people with stroke recover. This work led to the establishment of the Brain Recovery Clinic at UniSA which is a technology focussed service, offering innovative solutions to maximise recovery.

Prior to arriving at UniSA, Dr Hordacre completed a NHMRC funded post-doc in Stroke Recovery at the University of Adelaide. This work provided the first evidence of a time-limited period of enhanced neuroplasticity in humans after stroke. This discovery has important implications for optimising stroke recovery and led to several awards, media engagements and wider recognition. A short video summarising the study can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj3HmDl9mI4

Dr Hordacre’s research expertise has been recognised on several national and international platforms. This includes being awarded the 2021 Young Tall Poppy of Science Award, the 2021 Australasian Brain Stimulation Society ECR prize, the 2018 Brain Foundation Elizabeth Penfold Simpson prize for best neuroscience paper, and the 2018 University of South Australia ECR prize.
