The H-reflex is a spinal reflex that serves as a useful tool for studying spinal cord function and plasticity. It is analogous to the stretch reflex and is often used to assess the excitability of ...

Our research is exploring the consequences of cervical spinal cord injury and the potential for spontaneous improvement in function (plasticity), and aims to develop treatments to improve recovery.

The present observations of cortical plasticity and functional central sensory programs are obviously of importance when assessing the outcome of future nerve and spinal cord repair strategies.

However, neuroscientists have been perplexed by how the spinal cord manages to achieve this extraordinary plasticity for decades. Aya Takeoka is a Professor of Neuroscience. Takeoka group ...

Given the nervous system’s tremendous ability to re-organize, we seek to identify innovative paradigms that shape this neural plasticity towards gains in motor performance. We conduct parallel ...
