Non-invasive approaches of neural locomotor network activation in non-injured subjects placed in vertical suspended position

The mammalian lumbar spinal cord has the capability to generate locomotor activity in the absence of input from the brain. Previously, we reported that transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the spinal cord at vertebral level T11 can activate the locomotor circuitry … Continue reading

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation as a tool to investigate function of vestibulospinal, reticulospinal, and corticospinal descending pathways

Quantification of the function of the descending vestibulospinal, reticulospinal, and corticospinal pathways is critical to understanding the connectivity and neuroplasticity in the central nervous system. Previous works have examined the effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS), auditory startle response (ASR), … Continue reading
