Spinal cord injuries typically result in permanent paralysis and loss of sensation, posing significant challenges for those ...

Researchers use hIL-6 protein to restore walking in paralyzed mice by promoting neural circuit plasticity rather than fiber regrowth.

Mice engineered without the Nogo-66 Receptor (NgR) grew new nerve fibers after spinal cord injury, pointing to this receptor as a target for development of a drug to promote fiber recovery, according ...

The nervous system can reorganize itself after spinal cord injury and use new pathways to restore the cellular communication required for walking, scientists have shown. The discovery could lead to ...

Researchers have identified a network of connections linking the brainstem and spinal cord that helps control hand and arm movements, revealing an unexpected layer of the nervous system enabling ...

In a new study, researchers from North Carolina State University show that itch sensations in the face are perceived differently from those in the body due to differences in signaling between ...

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 ...
