Below is a select list of our publications and their importance.

Restoration of function after brain damage using a neural prosthesis

This paper describes the application of our brain-machine-brain interface for restoring motor function after traumatic brain injury. We found that activity-dependent stimulation, where premotor activity evoked intracortical microstimulation in somatosensory cortex, resulted in rapid and significant recovery in motor function.

Corticocortical connections of the rostral forelimb area in rats: a quantitative tract-tracing study

This paper describes the unilateral cortical projections from the premotor cortex of the rat. This gives the most complete picture of the anatomical wiring of normal rats and serves as a baseline for any manipulation, either through injury, rehabilitation, or stimulation.

Broad Therapeutic Time Window for Driving Motor Recovery After TBI Using Activity-Dependent Stimulation

This paper is a follow-up to our original activity-dependent stimulation paper. We showed that not only were the results of our original paper repeatable, we demonstrated that treatment could be delayed by up to three weeks and that once recovery occurred, the results were persistent for as long as we tested the rats.
