Congratulations 🥳 to Neuro X spinoff Onward Medical, for this recent acknowledgement ! Their work in commercializing @_NeuroRestore research is giving spinal cord injury patients a new lease on life.

Big week for @_smicera and his team! Keep up the momentum 🦾

Harnessing both low- and high-frequency epidural electrical stimulation, researchers devise personalized protocols that foster rehabilitation and walking recovery in two #SpinalCordInjury patients while reducing spasticity. @_smicera @MINE_Neurotech scim.ag/4gO3UHs

The Neuro X Institute is proud to have researchers who envision groundbreaking, translational research. And we are even more excited to see industry collaborations that can bring this technology to patients. Bravo to @_smicera and @SolaimanShokur for this important step!

We have an open post-doc position to work on an exciting international project (with @_smicera, @SolaimanShokur & Prof. Boari Coelho) on freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease and develop a new non-invasive temporal interference strategy to alleviate these symptoms. More info👇

⚡️🚶‍♂️Thanks to new high-frequency electrical stimulation that blocks spasticity, two paralyzed patients suffering from muscle stiffness after spinal cord injury benefit from rehabilitation protocols for walking again. go.epfl.ch/kIB-en

We’re excited to announce Professor Grégoire Courtine as the new Director of Neuro X Institute! 🎉 A big thank you to Professor Stéphanie P. Lacour for her incredible leadership since 2022. @EPFL_en @epflSV @EPFLEngineering @ICepfl actu.epfl.ch/news/gregoire-…

GREAT NEWS: @snsf_ch with @AgenciaFAPESP just approved a new @TNE_LAB project to design and test a closed-loop wearable stimulation system to assist in mitigating the freezing in PD patients with @SolaimanShokur @UPHUMMEL_EPFL, Dr. Daniel Boari Coelho and more!

🎉🎉🎉Congratulations to Friedhelm Hummel @UPHUMMEL_EPFL who has been awarded the Fürst Donnersmarck @fdst_de Prize for Neurohabilitation! Read more actu.epfl.ch/news/friedhelm… #EPFL #neurohabilitation #neuroscience #prize

As I said this morning to a distinguished young colleague of mine, we are just "artesans" of sensory information but we are cooking something interesting now...

@MarioNawfal Thank you for amplifying the message of the work we're doing here in Switzerland to improve spinal cord injury patients' lives everyday

🚨PARALYSED PATIENTS WALK AGAIN AFTER BRAIN ELECTRODE IMPLANTS In a groundbreaking first, 2 paralysed patients regained the ability to walk short distances and climb stairs after receiving brain implants through deep brain stimulation. The technique, led by Swiss researchers at EPFL, uses electrodes in the lateral hypothalamus to "reawaken" dormant nerve fibers in the spinal cord, restoring partial control of leg muscles. One patient, paralysed since 2006, now manages tasks like standing and walking with support. Scientists aim to combine brain and spinal stimulation for faster and more complete recovery in the future. Source: Sky News

New research shows deep brain stimulation of the hypothalamus may help spinal cord injury recovery, with promising results from mice, rats, and humans. Could this be a game changer for rehabilitation? ➡️ trib.al/aeKKcTF

Congratulations to our @_NeuroRestore researchers @gcourtine and Jocelyne Bloch for this groundbreaking research that is making its way around the globe today go.epfl.ch/8d74a4 @epflSV #neurotech #changingtheworld #swissresearch

🧠🚶‍♂️By applying deep brain stimulation (DBS) to the lateral hypothalamus, our scientists managed to improve the recovery of lower limb movements in two individuals with partial spinal cord injuries. @CHUVLausanne @unil @_NeuroRestore go.epfl.ch/8d74a4

🧠🚶‍♂️Nos scientifiques ont découvert que la stimulation de l’hypothalamus latéral permet d’améliorer de manière significative la récupération de la marche chez des personnes souffrant de lésions de la moelle épinière. @CHUVLausanne @unil @Neuro_X_EPFL go.epfl.ch/83bee7
