NIH awarded a grant to Washington University to study spinal premotor circuits by mapping neuronal connections and building computational models to understand spinal cord coordination.
Description
This NIH grant project aims to map the connections between different types of spinal neurons to understand how local and long-range connections differ, using optogenetic activation and computational modeling to explain coordination along the spinal cord.
