About
Pamela Anne See is a neuroscientist whose research focuses on spinal cord injury (SCI) and locomotor recovery. Her work explores how the injured spinal cord adapts to rehabilitation, with a particular emphasis on the neural mechanisms underlying gait restoration. See’s key contributions center on the use of weight-supported treadmill training (WSTT) and robotic-assisted therapies to enhance motor function after spinal cord transection. Her most-cited paper (36 citations) demonstrates that intensive WSTT improves locomotor function in spinally transected rats, while also revealing that reduced training amounts may limit spinal plasticity. Another influential study (26 citations) investigates how glutamate and glycine neurotransmitter systems in the lumbar spinal cord adapt to generate novel gait patterns after neonatal transection, highlighting the spinal cord’s intrinsic capacity for reorganization. See’s work on robotic loading during treadmill training (12 citations) shows that enhanced limb loading can further improve recovery, and she has also explored combining functional electrical stimulation (FES) with robotic training to reshape muscle activation patterns. Her research provides critical insights into the neuroplasticity of the injured spinal cord and informs the development of more effective rehabilitation strategies for SCI patients.
