The University of Arizona's College of Medicine-Tucson Department of Physiology presents the Seminars in Translational and Advanced Research (STAR) series, hosting Dr. Steven Crone, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
The Crone Laboratory studies how neural circuits that control breathing are altered by spinal cord injury with the goal of developing new approaches to restore breathing and prevent ventilator dependence in people living with spinal cord injury. We use mouse models of spinal cord injury along with a variety of tools to examine the function of respiratory circuits at the molecular, network, and whole animal physiology levels. Towards this end, we recently discovered a particular class of spinal cord neuron (called V2a) that when activated is able to restore function to a previously paralyzed diaphragm after spinal cord injury.
Join us in-person at 11 a.m. on Friday, January 23, 2026 in Arizona Health Sciences Center, Room 8403.
The lecture will also be available via Zoom.
