Today marks 10 years since we started our intracortical BCI trial in Pittsburgh University of Pittsburgh & UPMC PM&R. We would like to thank Jan for her dedication and contributions to research and for being an inspiration to so many. She is truly a pioneer! 🦾🧠🦸‍♀️ (a thread: 1/5)

I wanted to share awareness on Spinal Muscular Atrophy. SMA is a devastating genetic 🧬disease of the motoneurons that kills thousands of children worldwide. Fortunately, today we have some weapons to fight it thanks to noprofit groups like SMA Foundation #clinicaltrial #SMA 1/3

RNEL is using #ComputationalModeling to restore bladder control! Check out our high-resolution model of sacral spinal cord stimulation on Sunday afternoon at posters H12, I1-I3.

So excited to be presenting my work tomorrow morning at my first in-person SfN! #SfN22 #SfN2022 👩🏻‍🔬

Counting down to IndieBio's Demo Day in SF! Join us on January 19th to discover the power of movement through neuromodulation technology. Make sure to also catch us this Saturday at #NANS2023 where Marco Capogrosso will give a talk on the science behind Reach's technology!

🚨New paper out in Nature Medicine! 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) nature.com/articles/s4159…

So proud to be part of this work. It was huge team effort and I’m thrilled to be able to share it! Keep an eye on Reach Neuro, Inc. as we work to bring this technology to the clinic along with our all-star team: Angelica Herrera, PhD Marco Capogrosso Doug Weber and Dr. Peter Gerszten!

Just in time for International Women's Day!🦸‍♀️👩‍🔬👩‍💻I am sooooo proud of this paper💜It was a massive team effort with a wonderful group of women. We interviewed 6 women in Neural Engineering about their experiences navigating this field. #WomenInSTEM frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

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) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How do people with motor paralysis regain movement using spinal cord stimulation (SCS)? Genis and I studied the mechanisms that enable voluntary motor control during SCS after paralysis medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #scs ‼️Spoiler‼️: SCS does NOT facilitate supraspinal inputs…

I’m happy to share this preprint in collaboration with Amr Mahrous on the facilitatory role of GABA in sensory transmission in monkeys. Thanks to Elvira Pirondini and Marco Capogrosso for their great supervision, and Dr. Bennett for the inspiring discussions.

Hello Twitter world🥳! This might sound crazy but today we share a paper showing that neurostimulation can revert motoneuron dysfunction produced by a neurodegenerative disease!🤯 Scott Ensel Serena Donadio Robert Friedlander Elvira Pirondini Marco Capogrosso medrxiv.org/content/10.110…👇
