Peer-reviewed work
Peer-reviewed work on spinal cord injury, axonal plasticity, detour circuits and traumatic brain injury.

The spinal cord can rewire around injury: cut axons form new detour connections that restore function.
T. Weber, M. Kerschensteiner, F. Bareyre · Journal of Neuroscience
Activity helps the injured spinal cord decide which new connections to keep—and we can harness this to improve recovery.
K. Voss, R. Chen, L. Okonkwo · Cell Reports
New spinal connections are pruned over time so only the right ones remain—like sculpting a circuit.
T. Nakamura, S. Webb, E. Santos · Frontiers in Neural Circuits
We mapped the exact wiring of how the spinal cord bypasses injury to restore movement.

Repeated mild head impacts trigger specific brain changes we can target with new therapies.
