SALAMANDRA Decoding the organization and regeneration of locomotor neuronal networks in tetrapods by integrating genomics, systems neuroscience, numerical modeling, and biorobotics

Coordinator: ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE (CH)

The goals of this project are to decipher how the interplay between central and peripheral mechanisms controls locomotion in four legged animals (tetrapods) and to the delineate the reorganization of motor circuits linked to functional regeneration after spinal cord lesion. We will take advantage of the evolutionarily conserved traits of neural structures in vertebrates to address these two fundamental questions by using salamanders as model organisms. Salamanders are best suited to these aims for two main reasons: First, because they have an anatomically simplified nervous system, which yet …

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €9.6M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2021-09-01 to 2027-08-31.
