After a spinal cord injury, cells in the brain and spinal cord change to cope with stress and repair tissue. A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, shows that this ...

Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny ...

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

Cambridge researchers used lab-grown human brain and spinal cord tissues to uncover a hidden mechanism that blocks nerve repair. By reversing that biological brake, they restored the ability of ...

Previous research separately linked a viral protein called glycoprotein 120 (gp120) to increased pain sensitivity and ...

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 ...

With a study of the network between nerve and muscle cells in turtles, researchers have gained new insight into the way in which movements are generated and maintained. In the long term, the new ...

A new PET tracer can provide insights into how spinal cord injuries affect not only the spinal cord, but also the brain, according to new research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. By ...

A patient who received China's "Beinao No.1" brain computer interface undergoes rehabilitation training using an exoskeleton ...

Multiple sclerosis causes lesions to the spinal cord and other parts of the central nervous system. An MRI can detect spinal cord lesions and help diagnose and monitor the condition. Multiple ...
