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 ...

Brain imaging in MSA revealed that distinct cerebellar and medullary atrophy patterns were closely linked to cardiovascular ...

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 ...

A Swiss research center is trying to use innovative technology to help restore bodily functions for paralyzed patients—and even help Parkinson's patients walk smoothly again.

New research suggests that electrical spinal cord stimulation could improve muscle function for patients who have spinal muscle atrophy, even restoring the capability to walk.

Spinal cord circuitry, not the brain, controls reflexes for smooth movements, as revealed in a study. This could pave the way for newer neurological disorder therapies.

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

The spinal cord is a cylindrical tube of nerves and other cells. It carries signals back and forth between the brain and the rest of the body. Learn more about its anatomy and functions.

Applying red-light therapy to a damaged spinal cord protects and regenerates nerve cells, leading to a return of motor and sensory function, according to new research. The treatment could expand ...

A recent Four Corners episode questioned the use of surgically implanted devices called spinal cord stimulators for chronic back pain. Here’s what the evidence says.
