First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study looks at a part of the brain called the reticulospinal system, which helps control movement like posture and walking. Researchers will use loud sounds and motion tracking to study how this system works in healthy people and in those with spinal cord injury. The goal is to understand how the brain adapts after injury, which could lead to better therapies for recovery.
