This study uses deep brain stimulation to enhance corticospinal output in monkeys with CST lesions, improving arm and hand function and fine motor control.

This paper demonstrates noninvasive, focal gene delivery to the primate spinal cord using focused ultrasound, showing functional transgene expression and preserved neurological function.

This study shows that cervical spinal cord stimulation impairs proprioception but improves voluntary arm reaching in post-stroke patients.

This paper introduces SpIC3D, a 3D imaging method for high-resolution visualization of spinal structures, enabling quantification of neuronal density and volumetric reconstruction for computational modeling.

This study identifies network temporal dynamics as a reliable signature of consciousness levels during anesthesia using fMRI data from macaques.

The paper introduces an open-source, 3D-printable MRI-compatible stereotaxic frame for nonhuman primates, enabling accurate multimodal presurgical mapping and deep-brain interventions.

This study shows that GABA facilitates sensory transmission in monkeys, increasing spinal and cortical neural responses to sensory inputs.

The paper examines how electrical stimulation of cutaneous afferents disrupts spinal processing of proprioceptive inputs and affects neural activity propagation to the somatosensory cortex.
