The lab of HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow Shan Meltzer created a high-resolution spatial map of the mouse spinal cord, identifying where specific neuron subtypes are located and how they are organized. The ...

Touch—the first sense to develop in the womb—is fundamental to our bodily experience and our everyday lives. Yet, as the least studied of the five senses, it remains somewhat mysterious at the ...

Researchers have developed drug-loaded nanoparticles that selectively target the cells responsible for causing damaging inflammation following a spinal cord injury. Given to mice soon after an injury, ...

Your spinal cord can make its own memories independent of your brain, neuroscientists have found. The discovery opens up new avenues for treating patients in recovery from spinal cord injuries and ...

The consequences of a spinal-cord injury (SCI) include extensive damage to sensory, motor and autonomic functions, with correspondingly large effects on the lives of the individuals. How to repair ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

Automatic personalization of electrode placement for transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation can take it to the next level.
