Scientists have created wearable microscopes to enable unprecedented insight into the signaling patterns that occur within the spinal cords of mice. This technological advancement will help ...

While the spinal cord is known to play an essential role in relaying pain signals, technology has limited scientists’ understanding of how this process occurs on a cellular level. Despite progress in ...

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a “breakthrough” new therapy to help paralyzed mice walk again that could result in a potentially life-changing treatment for humans. Scientists ...

Nearly every paralyzed mouse scientists operated on in a new experiment were able to walk normally after receiving spinal cord implants. But will it work for humans? Researchers released a new study ...

After a devastating spinal cord injury, mice’s nerve cells balloon up in size. Some of these neurons stay swollen longer than expected and begin to die, a study published September 25 in Science ...

Scientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed an immunotherapy to minimize the damage from traumatic spinal cord injury. Their findings in mice show that ...

While many minor or moderate spinal cord injuries, or SCIs, can be at least partially healed with physical therapy, there are no treatments for the most severe cases. The problem lies in reconnecting ...

Medical cannabis can reduce essential tremor in mice. By injecting a specific synthetic cannabinoid into the spinal cord of mice suffering from essential tremor, researchers have shown that the drug ...
