About
Matteo Caleo is a leading neuroscientist whose research lies at the intersection of stroke recovery, neuroplasticity, and advanced neurorehabilitation technologies. His work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how the brain reorganizes after ischemic damage, and how this plasticity can be harnessed to restore motor function. Caleo’s landmark studies, including his highly cited 2017 paper on neuroplastic changes following brain ischemia (243 citations), have established key principles of post-stroke rewiring and its contribution to functional recovery. He is particularly known for pioneering the use of robotic systems in rodent models to quantitatively assess and train forelimb movements, bridging a critical gap between basic neuroscience and clinical rehabilitation. His innovative combination of robotic training with plasticity-stimulating interventions—such as inactivation of the healthy hemisphere or serotonin-driven cortical enhancement—has demonstrated that pre-stroke motor patterns can be restored, offering new hope for more effective therapies. With over 700 total citations and a string of influential publications from 2013 to 2024, Caleo’s work continues to shape the future of neurorehabilitation, making him a pivotal figure in translational stroke research.
