Scott Ensel

I have a very cool life update: This fall, I will be starting a position as Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh! @RNELabs @ChildrensPgh @PittNeurosurg

Improved muscle function, strength and fatigue measures were observed electrical spinal cord stimulation in individuals with spinal muscular atrophy @scottensel @dona_sere @MCapogrosso, @ElviraPirondini nature.com/articles/s4159…

In a first, @PittTweet and @UPMC researchers use #spinalcordstimulation to reverse neural circuit dysfunction in an inherited degenerative motoneuron disease. Research in collaboration with: @PittHealthSci @PittNeurosurg @UPMC_PMR @MCapogrosso @DrRFriedlander @ElviraPirondini

Hi X world! This might sound crazy but today we publish in @NatureMedicine a paper showing that neurostimulation can revert motoneuron dysfunction produced by a neurodegenerative disease! @scottensel@dona_sere @DrRFriedlander@ElviraPirondini @MCapogrosso nature.com/articles/s4159…

Excited to share the first paper of my PhD under @jenpgh! Here, we revisit the idea of motor somatotopy in humans implanted with intracortical electrode arrays as part of a clinical study in @RNELabs and @Corbionics 1/9

@MaxxChewning Ill take 4 dollars please

I’ll PayPal the first person $4 dollars that can tell me how many people are in this photo. I’ll need proof of accuracy

IT’S OUT NOW! Here, we characterized surface motor unit action potentials and interference pattern EMG signals obtained from 4 different leg muscles. We made this dataset available for those interested in modeling sEMG in neuromusculoskeletal simulators + journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Hello Twitter world🥳! This might sound crazy but today we share a paper showing that neurostimulation can revert motoneuron dysfunction produced by a neurodegenerative disease!🤯 @scottensel @dona_sere @DrRFriedlander @ElviraPirondini @MCapogrosso medrxiv.org/content/10.110…👇

Excited to share the completion of our latest project! Dive into our study exploring the feasibility and reliability of spinal cord functional connectivity at the lumosacral region. 📚 @dvdevill @NawalKinany #SpinalCord #fMRI #Reliability biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

How do people with motor paralysis regain movement using spinal cord stimulation (SCS)? @genisprat and I studied the mechanisms that enable voluntary motor control during SCS after paralysis medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #scs ‼️Spoiler‼️: SCS does NOT facilitate supraspinal inputs…

Come to my Nanosymposium talk today at 2:45 to hear about investigating how subcortical strokes affect upper limb movements using TMS! 🧠 #SFN23 #SfN2023

Thank you to all our co-authors Lynn Uhrig, Ayberk Ozkirli, Guylaine Hoffner, @JordyTasserie, @StanDehaene, @dvdevill, Bechir Jarraya and my mentor @ElviraPirondini (2/2)

Check out our new #preprint on discriminating levels of #consciousness during anesthesia! We demonstrate that temporal dynamics of functional networks can be a reliable and robust cortical signature of consciousness (1/2) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@JordyTasserie @ElviraPirondini @bechirjarraya @dvdevill Thank you for listening and for the kind words!

Amazing talk by @scottensel at #OHBM2023 on ´Signature of Consciousness in the Transient Dynamics of fMRI Brain Activity’ with @ElviraPirondini @bechirjarraya @dvdevill and many others

Thrilled to announce l will be joining @DellMedSchool at @UTAustin as an assistant professor of neurosurgery.🤘 A special thanks to Dr. Nick Barbaro for this wonderful opportunity. @uthealthaustin @utexasece @UTBiomedical @CockrellSchool #BCI #DBS #neuromodulation

🚨New paper out in @NatureMedicine! Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) has shown amazing results for improving #MotorControl, but does it work in #Stroke? Here we explore the effect of SCS on upper limb motor control in chronic stroke hemiparesis (1/9) nature.com/articles/s4159…

Happy to introduce our new study in @NatureComms out of @ChestekLab showing high-velocity, simultaneous movements of two finger groups using a temporally-convolved, shallow-layer feedforward neural network. nature.com/articles/s4146…

It looks like that's a wrap for a great week at #SfN2022! Pictured here are only *some* of the many great researchers from RNEL that attended and presented at this year's conference. See you next year in Washington D.C at #SfN2023!
