This NIH-funded project by Marquette University focuses on analyzing the supraspinal connectome after spinal cord injury using advanced imaging and chemogenetic techniques to understand neuronal functions and recovery mechanisms.
Description
The project aims to advance understanding of spinal injury at a whole-connectome level by visualizing and quantifying neurons in all supraspinal cell types, using 3D whole-brain and -spinal imaging, and testing functional relationships through targeted chemogenetic silencing.
