Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

After a spinal-cord injury, adult nerve cells do something frustrating: they hunker down and survive, but they refuse to ...

Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect up, which ...

A tiny clump of lab-grown human brain cells, no bigger than a lentil, sent nerve fibers into a slice of spinal cord tissue ...

Summary: A multinational clinical trial demonstrated that a novel antibody, NG101, successfully preserves existing nerve tissue and accelerates the regression of spinal cord lesions following acute ...

New research suggests spinal cord and brainstem are essential for processing touch signals as they travel to the brain The sense of touch is essential to almost everything we do, from routine tasks at ...

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for chronic pain involves delivering low levels of electricity directly into the spinal cord using an implanted device, which modifies or blocks nerve activity to ...

Summary: A milestone neuro-regenerative study has shattered a long-standing medical dogma by proving that “irreversible” damage to the connections between the human brain and spinal cord can be ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Your nerves transmit messages within the brain, as well as among the brain, spinal cord, and the body. In order to do this, they use a combination of electrical and chemical signaling. Motor neurons ...
