• What is John Cirillo's job title?

  John Cirillo is a My work has primarily focussed on factors that influence neuroplasticity in human motor cortex. Neuroplasticity is important in learning and memory, and also recovery from various central nervous system injuries. Factors which have the ability to influence motor cortex plasticity that I have examined include regular physical activity, brain hemispheres, ageing, and a common genetic polymorphism on the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene. I use the recent technology of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to assess motor cortex plasticity. TMS is a non-invasive and painless technique which allows indirect assessment of human motor cortex activity by electromyography recordings. I have induced plasticity of the motor cortex using experimental protocols (such as paired associative stimulation) and motor training protocols (such as acceleration and visuomotor tracking) in order to investigate mechanisms of neuroplasticity in humans. Most recently, I have used my knowledge and experience with TMS and electrophysiology to increase our understanding of corticospinal function following incomplete spinal cord injury. This has important implications in understanding the generation of voluntary movement following neurological insult and may also support the development of novel and more effective therapeutic interventions after injury. I also have an interest in the effect of exercise induced muscle damage on the mechanical properties and neural control of human muscles and collaborated in a research project and published in that field.
