This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, aims to identify the electrophysiological characteristics of spinal motor neurons during the recovery stages following a spinal cord injury (SCI) in mouse models. The $470,293 award, granted to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) on Jul 1, 2025, will leverage soft, stretchable hydrogel microelectrodes to conduct intraspinal recordings from the ventral areas of the lumbar segment in awake, behaving mice. This project will enable the capture of precise, real-time electrophysiological signals from motor neurons and correlate these patterns with observed behavioral changes throughout the SCI recovery process, potentially informing new therapeutic strategies for SCI rehabilitation.
