Big week for @_smicera and his team! Keep up the momentum 🦾

[Silvestro Micera @_smicera]

New paper in @ScienceTM showing how a clinically available device can be used to reduce #spasticity and to restore #walking in SCI patients by using low and high-frequency #spinal #neuromodulation with @MyUniSR (Prof. Mortini). First author @SimoneRomeni (dedicated to AM)

[Science Translational Medicine @ScienceTM]

Harnessing both low- and high-frequency epidural electrical stimulation, researchers devise personalized protocols that foster rehabilitation and walking recovery in two #SpinalCordInjury patients while reducing spasticity. @_smicera @MINE_Neurotech https://t.co/7srDKw8VCL

[Neuro-X Institute @Neuro_X_EPFL]

The Neuro X Institute is proud to have researchers who envision groundbreaking, translational research. And we are even more excited to see industry collaborations that can bring this technology to patients. Bravo to @_smicera and @SolaimanShokur for this important step!

[Silvestro Micera @_smicera]

I am particularly happy about this collaboration with BionIT. We are working together to significantly improve currently available prosthetic technology starting from their amazing @Adams_Hand_ ! More hopefully soon 🦾

[Hummel Lab @UPHUMMEL_EPFL]

We have an open post-doc position to work on an exciting international project (with @_smicera, @SolaimanShokur & Prof. Boari Coelho) on freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease and develop a new non-invasive temporal interference strategy to alleviate these symptoms.

We’re excited to announce Professor Grégoire Courtine as the new Director of Neuro X Institute! 🎉 A big thank you to Professor Stéphanie P. Lacour for her incredible leadership since 2022. @EPFL_en @epflSV @EPFLEngineering @ICepfl https://t.co/1RB0cAtUey

[Silvestro Micera @_smicera]

GREAT NEWS: @snsf_ch with @AgenciaFAPESP just approved a new @TNE_LAB project to design and test a closed-loop wearable stimulation system to assist in mitigating the freezing in PD patients with @SolaimanShokur @UPHUMMEL_EPFL, Dr. Daniel Boari Coelho and more!

As I said this morning to a distinguished young colleague of mine, we are just "artesans" of sensory information but we are cooking something interesting now...

[Neuro-X Institute @Neuro_X_EPFL]

@MarioNawfal Thank you for amplifying the message of the work we're doing here in Switzerland to improve spinal cord injury patients' lives everyday

[Sky News @SkyNews]

New research shows deep brain stimulation of the hypothalamus may help spinal cord injury recovery, with promising results from mice, rats, and humans.

Could this be a game changer for rehabilitation? ➡️ https://t.co/DCpeKoCZZJ

[Neuro-X Institute @Neuro_X_EPFL]

Congratulations to our @_NeuroRestore researchers @gcourtine and Jocelyne Bloch for this groundbreaking research that is making its way around the globe today https://t.co/JmizXTPS4v @epflSV #neurotech #changingtheworld #swissresearch

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

A study in @NatureMedicine finds that deep brain stimulation of a region called the lateral hypothalamus improves walking and promotes recovery in humans and rodents with spinal cord injury. https://t.co/KL29keKbtU

[EPFL @EPFL_en]

🧠🚶‍♂️By applying deep brain stimulation (DBS) to the lateral hypothalamus, our scientists managed to improve the recovery of lower limb movements in two individuals with partial spinal cord injuries. @CHUVLausanne @unil @_NeuroRestore
