Jo’s current research focus grew from her background in physical therapy and motor control. “I did some clinical studies,” she says, “and I wanted to apply what I learned to patients with spinal cord ...

The ARC-EX stimulator, recently approved by the FDA, makes it easier for the spinal cord to hear what the brain wants to do by using a high-frequency waveform.

Spinal cord’s neural mechanisms for motor learning independently of the brain, offer promising avenues for enhancing motor recovery post-spinal cord injury as per a milestone discovery published ...

Spinal Cord Conditions. Any disruption of spinal cord activity due to injury or disease could lead to serious conditions, including the loss of motor and sensory functions.

Aya Takeoka at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan and colleagues have discovered the neural circuitry in the spinal cord that allows brain-independent motor learning.

A teen severed his spinal cord — and may never regain the use of his hands or feet — while trying to leap into a swimming pool to avoid a wasp, according to his family.. SJ Williams, 13, was ...
