Short Introduction

A hallmark of our motor system is the ability to flexibly adapt to the changes in environment and our body. The goal of this project is to understand the neural basis for adaptive motor behaviour and its dysfunction in clinical models, particularly in spinal cord injuries. Our approach is multidisciplinary, including i) viral manipulation of neural circuits in animal models, ii) robotic assessment of motor behaviour, and iii) computer simulations based on motor control theories. By taking advantage of these diverse techniques, we aim to define the hardware (neural circuits) and the computation (functions) for adaptive motor behaviour.
