"Cortical Reorganization and Motor Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury"

Edmund Hollis, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Neuroscience Brain & Mind Research Institute, Weill Cornell Medicine Director, Circuit Repair Laboratory, Burke Neurological Institute Edmund Hollis uses genetic models and optogenetic tools to investigate the neuron-intrinsic limitations of regeneration and the system-level integration of circuit changes after spinal cord injury, in order to develop novel therapeutic interventions that take advantage of cortical plasticity to promote recovery.
