Your spinal cord can make its own memories independent of your brain, neuroscientists have found. The discovery opens up new avenues for treating patients in recovery from spinal cord injuries and ...

Three patients with spinal muscular atrophy had improved muscle strength and could walk farther after a month of daily spinal stimulation.

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

University of Michigan researchers developed a sponge-like implant that tracks early immune activity in MS-like disease.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized by the temporary or permanent loss of motion or sensation function caused by damage to the spinal cord. Among the mechanisms behind SCI, neuroinflammation is ...

An experimental treatment that stimulates the spinal cord may help people with a paralyzing ... HAMILTON: But Mentis showed that in mice with SMA, the disease also disrupts connections between ...

Neuropathologically, these mice exhibit widespread tau pathology, affecting the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, brain stem, and spinal cord. In the spinal cord, tau pathology leads to a dramatic loss of ...

Daily electrical stimulation of certain nerves in the spinal cord appeared to help three people ... But Mentis showed that in mice with SMA, muscle weakness appeared before motor neurons started ...

An experimental treatment that stimulates the spinal cord may help people with a paralyzing genetic disorder called spinal muscular atrophy.

Three patients with spinal muscular atrophy had improved muscle strength and could walk farther after a month of daily spinal stimulation. Spinal stimulation restored muscles wasted by rare ...
