The work, in the record.
The questions from our research, answered in the peer-reviewed literature — from the basic mechanics of spinal circuits to recovery after injury.
Highlighted Work
Descriptive summaries of historical milestones
Subprimary range of firing in spinal motoneurons
Identified a new range of motoneuron firing that shapes how force is built.
Serotonin and locomotion via 5-HT₇ receptors
Showed how serotonin helps initiate walking by acting on spinal circuits.
Respiratory and locomotor drive interaction
Linked the rhythms of movement to breathing and cardiovascular systems.
Spinocerebellar tract function
Mapped how the spinal cord keeps the cerebellum informed during movement.
Reciprocal Ia inhibition in locomotion
Examined the inhibition that keeps opposing muscles coordinated mid-stride.
