Functional Contribution of Mesencephalic Locomotor Region Nuclei to Locomotor Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury

2022-08-23

Abstract excerpt

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a disruption of information between the brain and the spinal locomotor circuit. Although the spinal cord contains all the neural circuits to generate locomotion, people with SCI are unable to walk due to the absence of descending commands from the brain. Electrical stimulation of supraspinal locomotor centers, such as the Mesencephalic Locomotor Region (MLR), can promote locomot...
