Dr Jerry Silver – Spinal Cord Damage and Emerging Treatments
Injuries to the spinal cord can cause permanent paralysis and even lead to death, with little to no hope of regaining lost functions once...
Activation of Cervical Spinal Networks Ameliorates Severe Paralysis
A new study suggests that a nonsurgical, noninvasive spinal stimulation procedure can help people with severe spinal cord injury (SCI) regain use of their...
Paraplegic rats walk again after therapy, now we know why
With the help of robot-assisted rehabilitation and electrochemical spinal cord stimulation, rats with clinically relevant spinal cord injuries regained control of their otherwise paralyzed...
New Neural Network Can Restore Diaphragm Function after Spinal Cord Injury
Bottom Line: A team of neuroscientists has uncovered a neural network that can restore diaphragm function after spinal cord injury. The network allows the diaphragm...
Do Zebrafish Hold an Ingredient to Heal Spinal Cord Injuries?
