Laboratory

Summary

The Courtine's lab at EPFL focuses on developing innovative interventions to restore motor functions after central nervous system disorders, particularly spinal cord injuries. They combine neuroprosthetic systems, robotic interfaces, and neurorehabilitation procedures with neuroregenerative interventions in animal models. Using advanced techniques like optogenetics and whole brain imaging, they study the neural mechanisms controlling locomotion and motor function recovery. Clinical studies are conducted to test the efficacy of their interventions in human patients.
