This project investigates how the spinal cord independently learns motor skills without brain involvement. By isolating the lumbar spinal cord, it aims to identify essential neuronal circuits for obstacle avoidance during locomotion, enhancing our understanding of spinal cord contributions to motor learning.
Animals adjust movement throughout their life to adapt to a changing environment and to learn new motor skills.
The underlying mechanisms have been studied for decades, almost exclusively as a function of the brain.
Interestingly, however, the spinal cord adapts and learns motor sequences without the brain, using only spinal sensory feedback.
Therefore, the spinal cord must contain adequate neuronal circuitry for motor learning.
This project aims to characterize brain-independent mechanisms of l…
