Summary

This study looks at a little-known 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 test how this system works in healthy people and those with spinal cord injury. The goal is to understand how the brain rewires itself after injury, which could lead to better rehabilitation treatments.
