There are over 15 million people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) worldwide. Experimental treatments using electrical stimulation through the skin may help some patients regain movement, but ...

Unlike humans’ and other mammals’ spinal cord injuries, in which damaged neurons always die, the damaged neurons of zebrafish alter their cellular functions in response to injury, first to ...

Researchers discovered in mice that conditions such as diabetes diagnosed in people with spinal cord injuries, can be linked to abnormal post-injury neuronal activity.

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a surgical intervention used to treat persistent low back pain. SCS is thought to modulate pain by sending electrical signals via implanted electrodes into the spinal ...

The spinal cord plays a significant role in pain processes, so identifying which spinal neurons are directly involved with pain-signal relay could open the door to better pain-management therapies.

(B) Cross-sections of E12.5 lumbar spinal cord from Hes2iCre;Gata3nlsLacZ;R26LSL-Sun1-GFP embryos stained with antibodies for GFP to label Hes2 neurons (green), β-gal (Gata3nlsLacZ) to label V2b ...

A cross section of the spinal cord showing different types of neurons involved in touch. Dorsal horn neurons (red) and postsynaptic dorsal column neurons (green) work together to receive information ...

Michel Roccati lost the ability to walk after a motorcycle accident in 2017, when he had a complete spinal cord injury. But today, equipped with an electrode device implanted on his spinal cord ...

“Currently, regenerating injured neurons in the spinal cord is a real challenge,” says Professor Marco Terenzio, from Japan's Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST).

Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine have successfully reprogrammed a glial cell type in the central nervous system into new neurons to promote recovery after spinal cord injury ...

A spinal cord injury can cause long-term complications, including limited mobility. Different types of spinal cord injuries result in different symptoms. Learn more here.
