An individual may become completely paralyzed because of any number of accidents that interfere with the functioning of the nerves in their body. People who have lost the ability to walk due to spinal ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Functional MRI data shows reduced activation in key brain regions post-nap in TBI patients, indicating enhanced motor learning, according to lead author Anthony H. Lequerica, PhD, senior research ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

Elevated pallidal beta power may serve as a biomarker for depression in Parkinson’s disease, paving the way for targeted DBS ...

A new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience provides neural evidence regarding how environmental cues can bias human decision-making. The research demonstrates that stimuli associated with ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...
