Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

After a spinal-cord injury, adult nerve cells do something frustrating: they hunker down and survive, but they refuse to ...

A tiny clump of lab-grown human brain cells, no bigger than a lentil, sent nerve fibers into a slice of spinal cord tissue ...

Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect up, which ...

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

Previous research separately linked a viral protein called glycoprotein 120 (gp120) to increased pain sensitivity and ...

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 ...

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for chronic pain involves delivering low levels of electricity directly into the spinal cord using an implanted device, which modifies or blocks nerve activity to ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

A team of scientists at Duke University and UC Irvine identify Kenpaullone as an effective analgesic for chronic and challenging-to-treat pain, such as that caused by nerve injury and bone cancer ...
