Paralyzed Rat With Spinal Injury Walks Again With Robot Rehabilitation
A rat with spinal cord injury and paralyzed legs managed to walk again after robot rehabilitation got its spinal brain working again and voluntary movement was restored. Swiss researchers reported tha...
Walking and running again after spinal cord injury
Rats with spinal cord injuries and severe paralysis are now walking (and running). New results show that a severed section of the spinal cord can make a comeback when its own innate intelligence and r...
Rewiring a Damaged Spinal Cord [Video]
When Christopher Reeve became quadriplegic, there was little hope for patients with spinal cord injury. Now researchers are combining what they know about the central nervous system’s ability to...
Promising Mechanism For Healing Spinal Cord Injury

Zebrafish reveal promising process for healing spinal cord injury
Scientists are studying the mechanisms of spinal cord repair in zebrafish, which unlike humans and other mammals can regenerate their spinal cord following injury. Their findings suggest a family of m...
Human Spinal Cord Modulation System For Relieving Chronic Pain
Each year, more than 35,000 patients in the United States are implanted with spinal cord stimulators to treat chronic pain. Unfortunately, up to half of such patients receive only very limited pain re...
Zebrafish reveal promising mechanism for healing spinal cord injury

Involvement of the Spinal Cord in Parkinson's Disease.
ABSTRACT Parkinson's disease (PD) has traditionally ascribed to alpha-synucleinopathy of the substantia nigra; however, several studies have showed widespread alpha-synucleinopathy inside and outside...
Expression of PirB in normal and injured spinal cord of rats.
The expression of paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PirB) in normal and injured spinal cord of rats was investigated. The SD rat hemi-sectioned spinal cord injury (SCI) model was established. Bef...
