TITLE: Targeting the motor cortex to restore locomotion after incomplete
spinal cord injury
Marina Martinez, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
Département de Neurosciences
Université de Montréal
Montréal, Quebec
RESEARCH PROFILE: Dr. Martinez is an Associate Professor in the Department
of Neuroscience at the University of Montreal. She has had a long-standing
interest in
spinal cord injury research. Her lab uses small and large animal models and
a combination of behavioral, electrophysiological and engineering approaches
to
understand the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying plasticity of
locomotor systems and to test neuroprosthetic approaches aimed at guiding
recovery of walk.
All are welcome to attend!

TITLE: Subpopulations of V3 spinal interneurons that regulate task-dependent
locomotor behaviors
Ying Zhang, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
Department of Medical Neuroscience
Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University
RESEARCH PROFILE: I have a long-standing interest in spinal interneuron
circuits. My lab has been investigating their development, organization and
function in locomotor behaviors under different physiological and
pathological conditions. We have identified molecularly, physiologically,
and functionally distinct subpopulations of spinal interneurons. We are
characterizing their properties and connectivity in the sensory-motor
circuitry and their function in the locomotor control. We are also exploring
the developmental logic and mechanisms underlying the diversification of
these spinal interneurons.
My talk will focus on one of the excitatory spinal neuronal populations, V3
interneurons. I will demonstrate that subpopulations of V3 neurons play
unique roles in task-dependent locomotor activities. I will also elucidate
our current understanding of the molecular identity of some V3
subpopulations and their diversification across hierarchically organized
temporal and spatial developmental pathways.
All are welcome to attend!
