Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Researchers from the Ohio State University College of Medicine have discovered in mice that conditions such as diabetes and vascular diseases commonly diagnosed in people with spinal cord injuries, ...

Zebrafish are members of a rarefied group of vertebrates capable of fully healing a severed spinal cord. Now, a new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis using a zebrafish ...

Conditions such as diabetes, heart attack and vascular diseases commonly diagnosed in people with spinal cord injuries can be traced to abnormal post-injury neuronal activity that causes abdominal fat ...

Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

Neuroscientists have used a nanosized sensor to record spinal cord neurons in free-moving mice, a feat that could lead to the development of better treatments for spinal cord disease and injury.

A viral infection can trigger a neurological disease similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in mice with a specific ...

What's the first thing you did when you woke up this morning? Maybe you swung your legs over the side of your bed, placed ...

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 ...
