Margaret Moore

Dr. Margaret Moore is an ARC Research Fellow at the Queensland Brain Institute, The University of Queensland. Her research focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive impairments post-stroke, particularly visuospatial neglect and related reading disorders. She employs advanced lesion-mapping techniques and neuroimaging analyses to link anatomical damage to functional deficits. Key areas include domain-specific cognitive impairments, recovery trajectories, and the development of clinical screening tools. Her work bridges neuroscience and clinical practice, emphasizing methodological rigor in lesion-symptom mapping.

Her investigations integrate CT/MRI neuroimaging with behavioral assessments, aiming to improve early detection and targeted rehabilitation strategies. Notable contributions include studies on right/left hemispheric lesion differences, automated scoring programs for cognitive tasks, and guidelines for stroke-related neglect screening. Collaborations with international researchers enhance her interdisciplinary approach to advancing neurological care.

Research themes include:
- Lesion mapping methodologies and their clinical applications
- Post-stroke cognitive recovery and rehabilitation
- Neglect dyslexia and reading impairments
- Neuroimaging biomarkers for cognitive deficits

Publications highlight methodological innovations in analyzing CT/MRI data alongside behavioral outcomes, emphasizing translational impact for stroke survivors.
