What does the spinal cord actually do? Most textbooks draw the spinal cord as a relay station- but it is much more than that. The spinal cord is not a cable — it's a computer.
The human spinal cord contains 1 billion neurons that generate almost all bodily movements. Cortex has about 16 billion.

New preprint:
Neural manifolds that orchestrate walking and stopping
Here we develop a new theory for neural generation of walking and how it can stop- Next we test the theory using Neuropixels probes in the lumber spinal cord of freely moving rats. See more:
