However, it is clear that SCI-related problems extend beyond the spinal cord, most notably to the immune system. Future studies should determine whether preclinical models of SCI reliably mimic ...

Even advanced brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), like those developed by Elon Musk’s Neuralink, assume that paralyzed limbs are beyond saving. But a groundbreaking clinical trial in China has ...

Stimuli are changes in our environment that we respond to and are detected by receptors. Different receptors are sensitive to different stimuli (eg receptors in the eye are sensitive to light).

and the spinal cord and the vertebrae (spine). The meninges also provide structural support for important blood vessels and nerves and prevent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the clear fluid the brain ...

Diseases of the nervous system refer to disorders that affect any part of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord or cranial nerves) or peripheral nervous system. Large-scale analyses of ...

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 ...

Spinal cord injuries are life-altering ... robotic-assisted movement alone does not sufficiently retrain the nervous system. A team at .NeuroRestore, led by Grégoire Courtine and Jocelyne ...

Researchers have used genetic tools to investigate how specific nerve cells in the brain respond after a spinal cord injury.
