Team: Coordinations and Plasticities of Spinal Generators
Domain: Motor Systems / Sensori-motor Integrations / Bainstem and Spinal Neural Networks
Research axis:
- Interlimb coordination in mammalian locomotion: role of the spinal neural circuitry
- Locomotor-respiratory couplings: involvement of limb muscle afferents
Scientific expertise:
- Bainstem and spinal rhythmic activity (respiration, locomotion)
- Development of neural networks engaged in motor functions
- In vitro isolated neonatal rodent bainstem-spinal cord preparations
- Electrophysiology, neuropharmacology
Projects:
- Role played by the thoracic neural circuitry on the interaction between cervical and lumbosacral locomotor generators.
- Influence of the locomotor generators on the activity of respiratory spinal neurons.
- Role played by spinal and pontine relays in locomotor-respiratory couplings.
