I have a very cool life update: This fall, I will be starting a position as Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh! @RNELabs @ChildrensPgh @PittNeurosurg

[Nature Medicine @NatureMedicine]

Improved muscle function, strength and fatigue measures were observed electrical spinal cord stimulation in individuals with spinal muscular atrophy @scottensel @dona_sere @MCapogrosso, @ElviraPirondini

[UPMC @UPMCnews]

In a first, @PittTweet and @UPMC researchers use #spinalcordstimulation to reverse neural circuit dysfunction in an inherited degenerative motoneuron disease.

Research in collaboration with: @PittHealthSci @PittNeurosurg @UPMC_PMR @MCapogrosso @DrRFriedlander @ElviraPirondini

[Genis @genisprat]

Hi X world! This might sound crazy but today we publish in @NatureMedicine a paper showing that neurostimulation can revert motoneuron dysfunction produced by a neurodegenerative disease! @scottensel@dona_sere @DrRFriedlander@ElviraPirondini @MCapogrosso

Excited to share the first paper of my PhD under @jenpgh!

Here, we revisit the idea of motor somatotopy in humans implanted with intracortical electrode arrays as part of a clinical study in @RNELabs and @Corbionics

@MaxxChewning Ill take 4 dollars please

[Roberto de Freitas @rm_defreitas]

IT’S OUT NOW!
Here, we characterized surface motor unit action potentials and interference pattern EMG signals obtained from 4 different leg muscles. We made this dataset available for those interested in modeling sEMG in neuromusculoskeletal simulators +

Excited to share the completion of our latest project! Dive into our study exploring the feasibility and reliability of spinal cord functional connectivity at the lumosacral region. 📚

How do people with motor paralysis regain movement using spinal cord stimulation (SCS)? @genisprat and I studied the mechanisms that enable voluntary motor control during SCS after paralysis

‼️Spoiler‼️: SCS does NOT facilitate supraspinal inputs…

Come to my Nanosymposium talk today at 2:45 to hear about investigating how subcortical strokes affect upper limb movements using TMS! 🧠 #SFN23 #SfN2023

[Scott Ensel @scottensel]

Thank you to all our co-authors Lynn Uhrig, Ayberk Ozkirli, Guylaine Hoffner, @JordyTasserie, @StanDehaene, @dvdevill, Bechir Jarraya and my mentor @ElviraPirondini (2/2)

[Scott Ensel @scottensel]

Check out our new #preprint on discriminating levels of #consciousness during anesthesia! We demonstrate that temporal dynamics of functional networks can be a reliable and robust cortical signature of consciousness (1/2) https://t.co/JWd1ECedbR

[Scott Ensel @scottensel]

@JordyTasserie @ElviraPirondini @bechirjarraya @dvdevill Thank you for listening and for the kind words!

[Jordy Tasserie @JordyTasserie]

Amazing talk by @scottensel at #OHBM2023 on ´Signature of Consciousness in the Transient Dynamics of fMRI Brain Activity’ with @ElviraPirondini @bechirjarraya @dvdevill and many others

[Matthew Willsey @matthew_willsey]

Thrilled to announce l will be joining @DellMedSchool at @UTAustin as an assistant professor of neurosurgery.🤘 A special thanks to Dr. Nick Barbaro for this wonderful opportunity. @uthealthaustin @utexasece @UTBiomedical @CockrellSchool #BCI #DBS #neuromodulation

[Erynn Sorensen @ErynnSorensen]

🚨New paper out in @NatureMedicine! Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) has shown amazing results for improving #MotorControl, but does it work in #Stroke? Here we explore the effect of SCS on upper limb motor control in chronic stroke hemiparesis (1/9) https://t.co/i93wngDXoq

[Matthew Willsey @matthew_willsey]

Happy to introduce our new study in @NatureComms out of @ChestekLab showing high-velocity, simultaneous movements of two finger groups using a temporally-convolved, shallow-layer feedforward neural network.

It looks like that's a wrap for a great week at #SfN2022! Pictured here are only *some* of the many great researchers from RNEL that attended and presented at this year's conference. See you next year in Washington D.C at #SfN2023!
