Fusing Neuroscience and Mathematics toward Future Clinical Applications in Spinal Cord Injury: YAMAGUCHI Reona at WPI-ASHBi

At WPI-ASHBi, assistant professor YAMAGUCHI Reona is uncovering how the brain recovers motor function after spinal cord injury by integrating neuroscience with mathematical modeling. His discovery that reduced neural inhibition—not increased excitation—drives recovery opens promising new pathways for clinical rehabilitation in an institute built for truly integrated interdisciplinary research, supported by WPI-ASHBi’s unique framework bridging life sciences and advanced mathematics.
