Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, such as following a spinal cord injury, has made great strides in recent years.

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

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 ...

Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A new study from Cedars-Sinai, reveals that support cells called astrocytes do ...

Summary: A milestone neuro-regenerative study has shattered a long-standing medical dogma by proving that “irreversible” damage to the connections between the human brain and spinal cord can be ...

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

Tel Aviv University researchers developed a method that may remove excess glutamate from the bloodstream in the first hours after injury, aiming to reduce the chain reaction of damage.
