A research group at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro has advanced polylaminin, a laminin-based biomaterial, from ...

For decades, it was thought that while the brain orchestrated male sexual behaviour – arousal, courtship, and copulation – the spinal cord merely executed the final act: ejaculation. But a study from ...

Many neurological conditions that involve involuntary muscle contractions have long been considered as diseases of the brain. However, both the brain and the spinal cord contain many nerve cells ...

A computational model mechanistically links spinal circuit reorganization to recovered locomotion after incomplete spinal cord injury.

Discover why we stop scratching. Researchers identify spinal cord neurons that signal when an itch is satisfied, offering hope for new chronic itch treatments.

Researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed a novel implant that delivers tiny growth-promoting particles directly to injured nerve cells, helping them to regrow ...

Until recently, researchers thought the brain managed arousal and courtship, leaving the spinal cord to handle ejaculation alone. A new study from the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon and the ...

Organoids developed from human stem cells modeled spinal cord injuries, providing a powerful in vitro tool to evaluate ...

For those living with chronic pain, an advanced therapy called Spinal Cord Stimulation may offer life-changing results and a renewed quality of life. Ryan Sankovic, M.D., is a double board-certified ...

Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal, which is the space in the center of the vertebrae containing the spinal cord and nerve roots. At its most severe or final stage — known as ...
