About the Neuromodulation and Motor Control Lab

Led by Dr. Monica Perez, the lab focuses on rehabilitative exercises aimed to engage residual neural networks in humans with spinal cord injury to improve functional recovery. We have combinedexercise with noninvasive stimulation, corticospinal-motoneuronal stimulation (PCMS) which suggests that targeted noninvasive stimulation of spinal synapses might represent an effective strategy to facilitate exercise-mediated recovery in humans with spinal cord injury.
