Project Overview

Recovery of movement after a spinal cord injury starts in the brain. Two-thirds of spinal cord injuries are not complete, meaning some connections and voluntary movement remain. In such cases, the nervous system can partially recover movement over time. Activity-based therapy helps retrain the brain to control movements, like walking…

Project Overview

By the time a person receives a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia, brain atrophy is such that memory impairments are irreversible. The scientific community is joining forces to collect and share data on the pre-dementia phases of AD (preclinical and prodromal AD). Neuroscientists require a large pool of longitudinal…
