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!
