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 ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) improves walking and promotes recovery in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), new research showed. This intervention excites ...

Determine how well common clinical assessments of level and completeness of injury are correlated with symptoms of autonomic blood pressure instability and secondary medical complications after spinal ...

Electroacupuncture Promotes Neural Repair by Inhibiting Calcium-Driven ER Stress After Spinal Cord Injury. Schematic illustration of the proposed mechanism by which electroacupuncture at the Shenshu ...

A new study maps out a detailed atlas of all the cells involved in regenerating the zebrafish spinal cord. In an unexpected finding, the researchers showed that survival and adaptability of the ...

An international research group has demonstrated that the antibody NG101 promotes the regeneration of damaged spinal cord tissue. Now, under the leadership of scientists at the University of Zurich ...

Neuroscientists have used a nanosized sensor to record spinal cord neurons in free-moving mice, a feat that could lead to the development of better treatments for spinal cord disease and injury.

Researchers at Brown University have demonstrated that targeted electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can restore both voluntary movement and sensory feedback in people with chronic, ...

Hopes that nerve damage previously considered untreatable could eventually be reversible have been sparked by University of Cambridge scientists. Using organoids, they have grown miniature circuits in ...

Under a fluorescence microscope at Northwestern University, a sphere of human spinal cord tissue — about 3 mm across, roughly the diameter of a mouse spinal cord — erupted with green light. It had ...
