A new home for
our research is
arriving soon.
Members of the Stecina lab study how spinal networks organize movement using systems physiology approaches, human research and data already collected from years of wet-lab research. Systems Physiology is the study of how different organ systems in the body work together to keep the body stable and healthy. Our lab focuses on sensory-motor integration.

What We Study
Electrophysiology & Connectomics
Characterizing intrinsic neuronal properties, synaptic integration, and motor pool recruitment in spinal circuits generating locomotion.
Computational Archives
Re-analyzing decades of accumulated experimental recordings to identify candidate circuits, rhythm patterns, and new hypotheses.
Neuromodulation & Recovery
Translating basic physiological findings into non-invasive human stimulation, high-density EMG, posturography, and sitting stability in SCI.
