Small, flexible spinal probe system results in better therapies: Study
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Accessing and studying the spinal cord is more challenging than doing so with the brain. It has been challenging to pinpoint exactly how it behaves due to its mobility and anatomical structure.

Tiny, flexible spinal probe system may lead to better therapies: Study
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
The spinal cord is more difficult to access and research than the brain. The difficulties posed by its mobility and anatomical structure have made it difficult to determine exactly how it acts.

Researchers give insight into techniques to reduce neuronal deterioration,
Updated : 3 years ago IST
While medications to reduce the course of neurodegenerative disorders are available, there are no treatments. Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, on the other hand, are searching for innovative techniques to reduce neuronal deterioration and cure amyotrophic

Study reveals how Huntington's disease affects different neurons
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Neurons in the striatum, a part of the brain affected by Huntington's disease, are among the most severely affected. The degeneration of these neurons contributes to patients' loss of motor control, which is one of the disease's major symptoms.

Research: Growing motor neurons guided by 'love-hate relationship' with bl
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
When neurons involved in movement called motor neurons form, they must build connections that reach from the brain, brainstem, or spinal cord all the way to the head, arms, or the tips of the toes. How neurons navigate these systems and "decide" where and how to grow has largely been a myste

Researchers find epigenetic treatment can aid regrowth of sensory, motor n
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 21 (ANI): Currently, there are no effective treatments for spinal cord injury; physical rehabilitation can help patients regain some mobility, but the outcomes are severely limited in severe cases due to the failure of spinal neurons to regenerate naturally after i

Researchers engineer novel human spinal cord implants to treat paralysis
Updated : 4 years, 1 month ago IST
Tel Aviv [Israel], February 7 (ANI): It is an unfortunate reality that there isn't a cure for permanent paralysis. The spinal cord can't heal itself. But, now, for the first time in the world, researchers from Sagol Center for Regenerative Biotechnology at Tel Aviv University, engineered 3D
