Gait disturbance in individuals with spinal cord injury is attributed to the interruption of neural pathways from brain to the spinal locomotor center, whereas neural circuits locate below and above ...

The regeneration of damaged neurons has been the ultimate goal for a large portion of neuroscience research. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that control neuronal growth is key to developing ...

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 ...

Dogs with spinal cord injuries may soon benefit from an experimental drug being tested by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine ...

Recent research demonstrates that small molecule activation of the protein KCC2 can reactivate dormant nerve pathways after spinal cord injury in laboratory mice. This molecule may have immense ...

Zebrafish, unlike people, can recover from spinal cord injuries, thanks to a healing process that’s controlled by immune cells called macrophages. Gaining a better understanding of this phenomenon ...

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.

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. People who suffer severe spinal ...
