项目摘要

Somatosensory feedback from the limbs is essential for locomotion and its recovery after spinal cord injury. To achieve stable locomotion, the spinal cord needs to process afferent feedback signals and properly adjust muscle activation and interlimb coordination. Crossed-reflex pathways, specifically, are important for gait stability and balance, which are impaired in various motor disorders and in the elderly. Recently, significant progress has been made in decoding the organization and function of the central spinal locomotor circuitry and its brainstem command system. But the interactions of somatosensory feedback with the spinal circuitry during locomotion have yet to be understood on the same level of detail. In this project we propose to address this gap of knowledge by combing mouse genetics, in vivo electrophysiology, and behavioral analyses with computational modeling of spinal circuits and the musculoskeletal system to systematically dissect sensory afferent connectivity to the locomotor circuitry, including genetically identified neuron populations, and their function in interlimb coordination. Studying the organization of crossed reflexes and their interactions with spinal locomotor circuitry will provide critical information for rehabilitative strategies. This multidisciplinary project will be performed in close interactive collaboration between two investigators with strong and complementary expertise in computational (Simon Danner, PI) and experimental studies of neural control of locomotion (Turgay Akay, Co-PI). The project has the following three aims: (1) Delineate the involvement of multiple spinal interneurons in the processing of sensory information and interlimb coordination by studying crossed reflexes at rest and during locomotion; (2) Design a predictive computational model of the spinal locomotor circuitry and its interactions with the mouse musculoskeletal system; (3) Integrate modeling and experimentation to uncover underlying neural mechanisms. The model will be used to derive informative predictions that will then be tested experimentally. This process has the advantage of providing an explicit and consistent theoretical framework for experimentation, thereby reducing the number of necessary experiments while increasing the information gained per experiment. In summary, the proposed multidisciplinary approach is based on state-of-art experimental and modeling methods and will provide important and novel insights into the neural organization of the spinal locomotor circuitry responsible for sensorimotor integration and interlimb coordination during locomotion that cannot be obtained by experimentation or modeling alone.
