An implantable system to restore hemodynamic stability after spinal cord injury - Nature Medicine A purpose-built implantable system based on biomimetic epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord reduces the severity of hypotensive complications in people with spinal cord injury and improv...

Two new papers from Courtine Lab!

When people think of spinal cord injury (SCI) they usually think of loss of ambulation. But there are so many more symptoms, like hemodynamic dysregulation. So fascinating seeing BCIs tackle them all.

Conserved brain-wide emergence of emotional response from sensory experience in humans and mice Emotional responses to sensory experience are central to the human condition in health and disease. We hypothesized that principles governing the emergence of emotion from sensation might be discovera...

New paper showcasing the incredible effort from the amazing Human Neural Circuitry (HNC) team! Beyond the great science, one can appreciate the poetic story told about human emotions. Looking forward to what's coming next!

Great interview Anson!

Week 1 in the DLab done! Just this week I went to Half Moon Bay for their holiday party, played poker with the team, held mice for the first time, saw probes enter & record the brain, and more. So much fun!

Hypothalamic deep brain stimulation augments walking after spinal cord injury - Nature Medicine Whole-brain anatomical and activity surveys identify the lateral hypothalamus as a key driver of recovery from spinal cord injury, leading to a deep brain stimulation therapy that augments the recover...

An amazing article from the Courtine Lab using mouse models & optogenetics to inform treatment of human spinal cord injury with deep brain stimulation.
