Project Details

Description

Can a neurobiologist reconfigure functional motor circuits in the spinal cord of a patient who has suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury? Can motor circuits be rewired to delay or prevent the impact of degenerative diseases like ALS? It won’t be easy, and it may not happen soon, but Dr Thomas Jessell has plans to make it possible.
