Funded Activity Summary

Through the research supported by this Australia Fellowship, Prof Goulding will recruit and establish an internationally recognized team of researchers to study how nerve cells in the spinal cord function and contribute to the sensorimotor networks that control movement, posture, balance and protective reflexes. Sensory pathways in the spinal cord are important for protecting individuals from tissue damage and noxious insults and they also play an important role in regulating locomotion and movement. They provide sensory feedback to the motor system to modulate it or activate particular reflexes. A multidisciplinary approach will be taken to dissect these circuits, using cutting edge mouse molecular genetics that allows specialized cell types to be studied and manipulated.
