New technique preserves major nerves, blood vessels, and other critical structures in a hard-to-access area. In a ...

Spinal nerves are part of your peripheral nervous system (PNS). Your PNS works to connect the rest of your body with your CNS, which is made up of your brain and spinal cord.

Boosting nerve regrowth post spinal cord injury “This strategy holds promise for further applications in repairing other central nervous system injuries and diseases,” the authors stated.

Spinal cord stimulation is a procedure that delivers low-level electrical signals to the spinal cord or to specific nerves to block pain signals from reaching the brain.

Together, the findings identify the spinal-cord meninges and their interactions with other components of the central nervous system – as exciting new areas for researchers to explore as they ...

Immune System: Spinal-cord injuries can have devastating, lifelong effects, leaving patients unable to move, unable to control their bowels or suffering pain, sexual dysfunction or uncontrollable ...

Their findings can give rise to new knowledge on how injury to and diseases of the spinal cord arise and how they can be treated. The study has been published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

A nerve stimulation therapy developed at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons is showing promise in animal studies and may eventually allow people with spinal cord ...
