Top: An acute spinal cord injury leads to an interruption of motor nerve pathways, resulting in paraplegia, a paralysis of arm and leg muscles. Center: The injured nerve pathways cannot recover ...

"One region in the thoracolumbar spinal cord was shown to relay noxious information into brainstem pain-related circuits, while the other spinal region in the lumbosacral spinal cord carried a broader ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

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 research team from the University of Cologne has shown how zebrafish can rebuild their nerve pathways and restore their locomotor function after a spinal cord injury. Specialized connective tissue ...
