Reward Circuit Neuromodulation for Motor Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injuries often cause lifelong motor deficits, with limited recovery from current therapies. This project explores a new approach: using deep brain stimulation of the brains reward circuits to encourage and reinforce natural movements during rehabilitation. In the rat model of spinal cord injury, we aim to boost both immediate motor performance and long-term recovery. The research will lay the groundwork for future therapies that could significantly improve mobility and quality of life for people living with paralysis.
