A pilot study investigating arm and leg FES-assisted cycling as an intervention for improving ambulation after Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
DownloadSpring 2013
People with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) have the potential for recovering walking through plasticity-induced changes in the remaining neural circuitry. Current rehabilitation for walking attempts to induce such changes by providing relevant sensory inputs and motor commands through...

Connectivity and Regional Distribution of Constituent Cells of the Mammalian Locomotor Central Pattern Generator
DownloadFall 2016
The mammalian spinal cord contains a network of neurons capable of generating the rhythm and coordinating the complex motor pattern which underlies overground locomotion. This network, called the locomotor central pattern generator (CPG), can operate in isolation from afferent input and...

The Study of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Genes Using Drosophila Homologues: Behavioural Insights
DownloadFall 2014
Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) denotes a heterogeneous group of heritable neurodegenerative disorders predominantly characterized by progressive weakness and spasticity of the legs. Mutations in the gene SPAST are by far the most common, while mutations in the gene ATL1 are the second most...

Fall 2011
The locomotor Central Pattern Generator (CPG) is a neuronal network capable of producing rhythmic locomotor output independent of sensory or descending input. Attempts to identify component interneurons of the CPG have been aided by the discovery of transcription factors that are expressed by...
