SCI Redefined as a Broken Brain–Body–Environment Loop

Is spinal cord injury a motor problem, or a broken system-wide conversation? A new study challenges traditional neuro-rehabilitation paradigms by redefining SCI as a systems-level disorder that disrupts the brain–body–environment loop.

Novel Role of Microglia as Modulators of Neurons in the Brain Is Discovered

Researchers have identified a bio-chemical circuit that supports neuron-microglia communication. When neurons are active, they release ATP. Microglia sense extracellular ATP and the compound draws the immune cell toward the neuron.
