I am a neuroscientist, who studies the neural mechanisms responsible for the control of human voluntary movements. My research is aimed at characterising the physiological mechanisms which are responsible for plasticity of the human motor cortical regions
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 move ....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.Read moreRead less
I am a physiotherapist with special expertise in ergonomics. My research aims to improve health outcomes through an understanding the physical impact of new technology use.
I am a neurophysiologist interested in brain regulation of homeostatic and autonomic functions in health and disease. I am endeavouring to discover the brain pathways for these vital functions, and to translate my findings from animal research to humans.
I am a neurophysiologist who examines the neural control of movement and the interaction of sensation and movement in human subjects. I study cortical and motoneuronal events during exercise and muscle fatigue. I also study proprioception i.e. the sensati
