Researchers at Brown University have demonstrated that targeted electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can restore both ...

One participant pointed to her chest. That, she explained, is where she felt her foot hit the treadmill. Not the foot itself, ...

Researchers have identified a network of connections between the brainstem and spinal cord that enables people to grasp, hold ...

Researchers have identified a previously overlooked neural pathway that helps control human hand and arm movements. The ...

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

A research group at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro has advanced polylaminin, a laminin-based biomaterial, from preclinical investigation to early human testing in spinal cord injury.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). This disease causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the protective ...

New research suggests spinal cord and brainstem are essential for processing touch signals as they travel to the brain The sense of touch is essential to almost everything we do, from routine tasks at ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

In new results from a clinical trial, researchers show that electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can restore the muscle control and sensory feedback required for coordinated walking movements.
