Your brain, spinal cord, and nerves are the main parts of your nervous system. Important messages travel back and forth from your brain. They travel through your spinal cord and out to nerves that ...

Researchers have identified a network of connections between the brainstem and spinal cord that enables people to grasp, hold ...

After a spinal cord injury, cells in the brain and spinal cord change to cope with stress and repair tissue. A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, shows that this ...

Researchers have identified a previously overlooked neural pathway that helps control human hand and arm movements. The discovery shows that signals guiding voluntary hand motion travel through deeper ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have mapped how cells in the human spinal cord are formed in the embryo and what genes control the process. Their findings can give rise to new knowledge ...

Researchers develop a 3D-printed, RNA-activated implant that silences the PTEN gene to promote nerve regrowth after spinal cord injury.

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS).

A new risk prediction model shows good predictive value in identifying risk for neurogenic bladder (NB) after spinal cord injury (SCI) and guiding clinical interventions, according to a study ...

New research suggests that the immune system's ability to respond to spinal cord injuries diminishes with age – and identifies potential avenues to improve that response and help patients heal. The ...
