Science Nation: Eliciting Brain Plasticity to Keep the Body Moving

Person wearing a cap covered in wires while manipulating controls which guide something on the computer screen in front of them. Caption: how brain circuitry controls how we move.

With support from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Emerging Frontiers of Research and Innovation (EFRI) program, bioengineer Gert Cauwenberghs, of the Jacobs School of Engineering and the Institute for Neural Computation at the University of California (UC), San Diego, and his colleagues are working to understand how brain circuitry controls how we move. The goal is to develop new technologies to help patients with Parkinson's disease and other debilitating medical conditions navigate the world on their own. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
