Overview

Annette Sterr is affiliated with the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom. Their research spans multiple areas within Medicine, Neuroscience, and Psychology, with a particular focus on Neurology, Rehabilitation, and Cognitive Neuroscience.

The scientist's work frequently appears in notable publication venues including Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience, SLEEP, Sleep Medicine, and Chronobiology International. This indicates a strong emphasis on clinical and experimental studies related to brain function and recovery processes.

Their areas of research interest cover a range of topics such as Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery, Cerebral Palsy and Movement Disorders, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies, Sleep and Wakefulness Research, Sleep and Related Disorders, Traumatic Brain Injury Research, and Muscle Activation and Electromyography Studies. This multidisciplinary approach reflects engagement with both neurological conditions and underlying neurophysiological mechanisms.

Among recent publications are the following:

  • "A First Step Toward the Operationalization of the Learned Non-Use Phenomenon: A Delphi Study" (2021) in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair
  • "Sleep is more than rest for plasticity in the human cortex" (2021) in SLEEP
  • "Sensorimotor white matter projections and disease severity in primary Restless Legs Syndrome/Willis-Ekbom disease: a multimodal DTI analysis" (2020) in Sleep Medicine
  • "The effect of mirror therapy can be improved by simultaneous robotic assistance" (2022) in Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience
  • "Evening preference correlates with regional brain volumes in the anterior occipital lobe" (2021) in Chronobiology International

These publications demonstrate a diverse research output covering experimental clinical methods, neuroplasticity, and sleep-related neurobiology.

Frequent collaborators include Mareike Schrader, Stephan Bamborschke, Theresa Hirsch, Maria Barthel, and Pauline Aarts. These collaborations suggest active engagement within a network of researchers focusing on related neurological and rehabilitative topics.
