Adaptive deep brain stimulation to treat gait disorders in Parkinson's disease; Personalized chronic adaptive deep brain stimulation outperforms conventional stimulation in Parkinson's disease
On Friday, August 31st we will host Stephanie Cernera & Doris Wang! Stephanie Cernera, PhD, is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Starr lab at University of California San Francisco. She will tell us about “Personalized chronic adaptive deep brain stimulation outperforms conventional stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease”. Doris Wang, MD, PhD, is a neurosurgeon and assistant professor at the University of California San Francisco. Apart from her scientific presentation about “Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation to Treat Gait Disorders in Parkinson’s Disease”, she will give us a glimpse at the “Person behind the science”. The talks will be followed by a shared discussion. You can register via talks.stimulatingbrains.org to receive the (free) Zoom link!
Computational models of spinal locomotor circuitry
To effectively move in complex and changing environments, animals must control locomotor speed and gait, while precisely coordinating and adapting limb movements to the terrain. The underlying neuronal control is facilitated by circuits in the spinal cord, which integrate supraspinal commands and afferent feedback signals to produce coordinated rhythmic muscle activations necessary for stable locomotion. I will present a series of computational models investigating dynamics of central neuronal interactions as well as a neuromechanical model that integrates neuronal circuits with a model of the musculoskeletal system. These models closely reproduce speed-dependent gait expression and experimentally observed changes following manipulation of multiple classes of genetically-identified neuronal populations. I will discuss the utility of these models in providing experimentally testable predictions for future studies.
