A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a discovery that could help refine future stem-cell therapies for paralysis. The ...
A new study suggests a widely used bone hormone could help relieve chronic back pain in an unexpected way. Instead of just ...
(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 ...
Roccati, age 31, is one of three men who received experimental spinal cord stimulators as part of a clinical trial. All three had completely paralyzed lower bodies. The results have been a stunning ...

Study links intestinal cell signals to MS-like spinal inflammation
Researchers have established a direct experimental link between inflammatory signals in the intestinal lining and the kind of spinal cord damage that mimics multiple sclerosis. A study published in ...
Your nerves transmit messages within the brain, as well as among the brain, spinal cord, and the body. In order to do this, they use a combination of electrical and chemical signaling. Motor neurons ...
