Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny muscle contractions. They discovered that human neurons gradually lose ...

A lab develops brain wave decoder that may help in spinal cord injury rehabilitation. When a person sustains an injury to the spinal cord, the normal communication between the brain and the spinal ...

Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect, which underlies human movement. They used this model to show how damage to these ...

Neuroscientists discover a pathway to restore mobility, leveraging deep brain stimulation to activate key neurons and enable walking recovery for individuals with spinal cord injuries. Study: ...

In 2006, Wolfgang Jäger was in his 30s when a skiing accident left the young Austrian wheelchair-bound from a spinal cord injury. Fast-forward to today, where an innovative deep-brain stimulation ...

A new PET tracer can provide insights into how spinal cord injuries affect not only the spinal cord, but also the brain, according to new research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. By ...
