Award for research on spinal interneuron circuits to understand motor output and their role in spinal cord injury and neurodegenerative disorders.
Description
This project aims to investigate the local connectivity of V1 interneurons in the spinal cord, leverage molecular heterogeneity for viral manipulation, and explore their functional roles downstream of supraspinal motor systems. The research addresses gaps in understanding spinal interneuron connectivity and function, relevant to spinal cord injury and neurodegenerative disorders.
