About

Who am I?

Sirine Yassine, a PhD student in Physiology at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Université de Sherbrooke. My research focuses on how cutaneous reflexes are modulated after a cervical spinal cord injury in adult cats.

During my journey, I always looked to explore new questions, face new challenges, and grow beyond my comfort zone. What drives me? A deep curiosity and a love for learning. To me, science isn’t just about data; it’s about understanding, sharing, and evolving. This space is an extension of that journey: a place to make complex ideas clearer and help others take their first steps into the world of locomotion.

Because learning never stops: Seek, explore, and keep going!

Why did I create Locomotion Explained?

I often met new students and interns interested in locomotor control and spinal cord injuries, but didn’t know where to start. I realized a real gap in accessible scientific communication in our field. This inspired me to create Locomotion Explained: a space to gather, simplify, and share the key concepts and latest discoveries in locomotor control.

My mission is to facilitate learning and integration for new students in the field of locomotor control by providing clear, accessible, and well-structured explanations of the foundational knowledge I have acquired during my journey.
