Head: Pavel E. Musienko
Research Interests:
Last decades, there has been significant progress in investigation of structure and function of neural networks in the brain and spinal cord. Modern bioengineering technologies allowed to artificially control the functions of the impaired neuronal circuits. Our recent studies (Gerasimenko et al. 2008; Courtine et al. 2009; Musienko et al. 2009, 2011, 2012) have provided specific objectives for the optimization of neuroprosthetic algorithms, testing them on a new experimental models of neuromotor disorders, and translation to clinic. The work in Laboratory of Neuroprosthetics is devoted to these objectives.
Major lines of research:
· Study of structural and functional organization of the spinal neuronal networks responsible for sensorimotor and somatovisceral integration
· Creation of experimental models of spinal disorders (malformations, arthrogryposis, neurodegenerative diseases)
· Use of implantable electrochemical neuroprosthesis in paralysis of various etiologies
· Development of new non-invasive approaches to artificially control the functions of the impaired spinal neuronal networks
