Neural foraminal stenosis occurs when the space a spinal nerve travels through narrows, causing nerve irritation and ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease. An intervention, ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

(a) The various types of neurons in the spinal cord are distributed according to their anatomical locations. (b) The rostral–caudal (RC) axis of the spinal cord is established by gradients of RA, FGF8 ...

Cervical spinal stenosis refers to a narrowing of the spinal canal. If the canal narrows significantly, it can become too small for the spinal cord and nerve roots. This can cause pressure and result ...

A bruised spine, or spinal contusion, can be a serious injury that may cause disability. It can occur due to trauma damaging the tissue of the spine, resulting in bleeding, inflammation, and pain. The ...

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 ...

What Is Central Cord Syndrome? Central cord syndrome is a type of incomplete spinal cord condition that affects the middle portion of your spinal cord. An incomplete spinal cord syndrome affects ...

A research team from the University of Cologne has shown how zebrafish can rebuild their nerve pathways and restore their locomotor function after a spinal cord injury. Specialized connective tissue ...
