From the Office of Research and Graduate Education: Congratulations to recent grant recipients

The Effect of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury on Corticospinal Excitability During Complex Action Preparation

  • PI: Deborah Barany, assistant professor, Department of Kinesiology
  • Co-PIs: Rob Lynall, associate professor, and Jing Xu, assistant professor, Department of Kinesiology
  • Sponsor: Medical University of South Carolina NC NM4R Pilot Project
  • Amount: $37,500

Congratulations to Deborah Barany, Rob Lynall, and Jing Xu on their award from the Medical University of South Carolina NC NM4R Pilot Project. The long-term goal of this research is to understand the neural mechanisms underlying lingering functional movement deficits post-mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) to design novel neurorehabilitation interventions for improving motor recovery and maximizing patient care.
