Rats exhibit significant recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injuries, albeit with altered gait expression and reduced speed and stepping frequency. These changes likely ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the University of Auckland in New Zealand have developed a groundbreaking bioelectric implant that restores movement in rats after ...

When a person sustains an injury to the spinal cord, the normal communication between the brain and the spinal circuits below the injury is interrupted, resulting in paralysis.

These results suggest that neural coordination across gap junctions is important in motor-pattern generation in the mammalian spinal cord.

Spinal cord compression produces edema, inflammation, and mechanical compression, which causes direct neural injury to the cord, as well as vascular damage and impairment of oxygenation.

MS Spinal Cord Lesions: Everything You Need to Know Spinal cord lesions are more commonly seen in progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, and they can result in an increased risk of disability.

Tiny, zapping implant gives spinal cord injury survivors new hope UT Dallas researchers paired rehab with vagus nerve stimulation to help people with spinal cord injuries regain arm and hand mobility.

Epidural spinal cord stimulation (ESCS) is a potential treatment for the recovery of the motor function in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Since the mechanism of ESCS remains unclear, it is ...

Electrode stimulation for spinal cord injury patients is a growing and promising research area. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

The coordination of motor function in the spinal cord depends on selective connections between distinct classes of motor neurons and their target muscles. However, knowledge regarding the anatomical ...
