In past research, Calvert and others in the field have been able to restore control over muscle movement for these patients ...

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...

Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord is a promising strategy for reestablishing walking after spinal cord injury, recent studies show. But for patients suffering from muscle spasms, the ...

What is the cause of flexor and extensor spasms seen in patients with paraplegia? What is the prognosis in such patients? How do we manage such a problem? In a spinal cord injury resulting in ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A University of Alberta research team will spend the next five years studying the role of poorly understood spinal neurons in ...

A paradigm shift in the way we treat spinal injuries is now in sight, with the world's first regenerative cell therapy being granted approval for a registrational Phase I clinical trial. It's a ...

Precision Neuroscience’s brain-computer interface—a wireless device that aims to restore function to people with paralysis—is getting a boost from SCI Ventures. The fund is backed by the Christopher & ...

Anderson Cooper: This week on 60 Minutes, we're doing a story about efforts to help people who are paralyzed with severe spinal cord injuries develop the ability to walk again. And not just walk again ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

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.
