📋 Tender Overview
Shaping Body Movements Through Interactions With Brainstem Neurons
Insight Into How The Nervous System Orchestrates Specific Movementsmotor Control Entails A Series Of Commands That Commence In The Brain Motor Centres And Are Executed By The Spinal Cord. In This Complex Process The Brainstem Plays An Intermediary Role Between The Brain And The Spinal Cord. Recently, Distinct Brainstem Neural Populations Have Been Identified To Carry Out Specific Body Movements. The Eu-Funded Interact Project Is Interested To Understand How Brainstem Neurons Interact With The Motor System To Generate Diverse Movements. Researchers Will Employ A Multi-Disciplinary Approach To Investigate The Underlying Circuit Mechanisms That Recruit Specific Brainstem Neurons During Desired Actions.
