Biography

Ingela Hammar is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg in the Department of Physiology. Her research group works on spinal cord motor control and explores various aspects of sensory input modulation. Her studies have delved into the effects of different neurotransmitters and electrical stimulation on spinal cord excitability and neuronal plasticity, particularly focusing on the responses of primary afferent fibers and GABAergic astrocytes. Hammar has contributed significantly to understanding how these neuronal circuits operate during locomotion and sensory processing, and her research aims to uncover pathways that may inform therapeutic strategies for spinal cord injuries and disorders. She is actively publishing in prominent journals, with numerous publications spanning over a decade, reflecting her ongoing commitment to advancing knowledge in neurophysiology and spinal cord research.
