Congratulations Valerie and Her Team!
Valerie published her work titled "Dorsal horn neuronal sparing predicts the development of at-level mechanical allodynia following cervical spinal cord injury in mice" in the Journal of Experimental Neurology
Congratulations to Valerie and her team of undergraduates who are co-authors on this paper: Katelyn Knox, Sherilynne Moore, Nolan Roberts and lab alumni Karla Kassandra Corona! This paper analyzed anatomical lesion correlates to the development of mechanical sensitivity after SCI. Use the link below to access the paper:

Ashley Tucker was awarded a prestigious Wings for Life Grant!
Congratulations to Ashley Tucker who has received a grant from the Wings for Life Spinal Cord Research Foundation.
The purpose of the Wings for Life Spinal Cord Research Foundation grant is to promote basic and clinical research related to spinal cord injury (SCI) with the perspective to improve outcomes after injury. This award will facilitate Ashley's doctoral work in mapping integration of transplanted neurons within locomotor circuitry following SCI.
For more information on the Wings for Life Spinal Cord Research Foundation and grant, please visit the WFL home page.
Congrats again to Ashley and all other Wings for Life awardees!
