The questions change. The record keeps growing.
The Stecina Lab’s published work reflects an ongoing investigation into spinal circuit organization, movement generation, brain–spinal coordination, neuromodulation, and recovery after injury.
Autonomic Function and Plasticity After Spinal Cord Injury
Examines propriospinal mechanisms, autonomic control, and capacity to rewire after spinal cord injury.
Serotonin and locomotion via 5-HT₇ receptors
Demonstrates how serotonergic receptor action triggers locomotion initiation and modulates coordination.
Information to cerebellum via DSCT
Re-evaluates how spinal motor networks convey feedback to the cerebellum during movement.
Reciprocal Ia inhibition in locomotion
Direct evidence that Ia inhibitory interneurons quiet motoneurons during rhythmic off-phases.
Today’s questions are built on years of asking how spinal circuits work.
