Overview
Dr. Karunesh Ganguly is a neurologist who specializes in neurological rehabilitation, particularly for patients with gait or walking disorders. He also treats chronic neurological impairments following stroke or another brain injury.
In his research, Ganguly studies new treatments for patients recovering from neurological conditions and injuries. He is specifically interested in developing brain-machine interfaces that have the potential to revolutionize the care of neurologically impaired patients by allowing electronic devices to interface directly with the brain. These devices could eventually allow paralyzed patients to recover limb function and help retrain the brain after injury. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications on this topic.
Ganguly earned his medical degree and a doctorate in neuroscience in the Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of California, San Diego. He completed his internal medicine and neurology training at UCSF.

Altmetrics Details
PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media.
(Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.)
Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication.
Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.)
