Researchers report a paralyzed man has been able to regain functional control of his hand with the help of a brain implant that works with new software. Read More
Severed axonal segments signal to Schwann cells to begin actin sphere formation and axon disintegration. If the process is disrupted, axon disintegration is slowed and axon fragments impair nerve regeneration. Read More
A new study reports stem cell treatments given one day following spinal cord injury can help prevent certain immune responses that can lead to the loss of bodily functions. Read More
Study reveals the immune system response may contribute to additional injury following damage to the spinal cord. Read More
Researchers restore significant bladder function, through nerve regeneration, in rats with severe spinal cord injuries. Read More
Researchers report the gene that encodes Ryk enhances the ability to remodel neural circuits and recover fine motor control following spinal cord injury. Read More
Findings could lead to exciting new treatments for spinal cord injury and stroke patients, researchers report. Read More
Researchers use virtual reality technology to help generate an alternative body illusion and relieve phantom body pains in paraplegic patients. Read More
Researchers have discovered a way to stimulate the growth of corticospinal axons. The finding could potentially help with the development of new treatments for those suffering from spinal cord injuries. Read More
By transplanting V2a interneurons, researchers improved respiratory function in mice with spinal cord injuries, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers have identified immune cells in the membranes around the brain that could be a 'missing link' in the gut-brain axis. The immune cells also appear to have a positive impact on recovery following spinal cord injury. Read More
A new study challenges conventional belief that myelin can inhibit neuronal growth. Researchers report rat myelin stimulated axon outgrowths in neural precursor cells, and human iPSCs. Read More
