Science in Medicine Lecture Series: Chet Moritz, PhD

Lecture Title: “Neurotechnology to promote long-term recovery after brain and spinal cord injury” Abstract: Neuroprosthetic devices have tremendous potential to improve quality of life after brain and spinal cord injury. Neuroprostheses that record and stimulate neural activity have progressed from animal studies to human trials, including the approach of using activity recorded from the brain to control Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and epidural spinal stimulation and restore movement to paralyzed muscles. Another promising method for restoring movement and enhancing rehabilitation is direct stimulation of the spinal cord. Both transcutaneous and epidural stimulation can activate neural circuits distal to an injury, leading to both direct muscle contraction or facilitating long-term neuroplasticity, and recovery that restores volitional control of movement for months after the stimulation is discontinued. Optogenetic stimulation of the spinal cord is another promising approach to achieve specific… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: William H. Foege Genome Sciences (GNOM).
