Researchers identified specific regions of the human spinal cord where neural activity directly correlates with bladder ...

Urinary incontinence is a devastating condition affecting over 33 million Americans, according to the National Association ...

Ancient bacteria that have evolved to become integral to our cells—converting nutrients from food into energy—may also contribute to neurologic disorders, such as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA ...

A Swiss research center is trying to use innovative technology to help restore bodily functions for paralyzed patients—and even help Parkinson's patients walk smoothly again.

Task-related activation was localized in the ipsilesional ventral premotor cortex, the supplementary motor area, and the cervical spinal cord. Psycho-physiological interactions and linear modeling ...

Task-related spinal cord activation and psycho-physiological interactions were inferred to assess functional connectivity between cortical premotor regions and the cervical spinal cord. Linear ...

A spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD), which, if left untreated, can result not only in urinary incontinence and an increased risk of urinary tract ...

ABSTRACT: Congenital dermal sinus tract (CDST) is a rare entity of spinal dysraphism with an incidence of 1 in 2500 live births. The presumed etiology relates to a focal failure of disjunction ...

Spinal angiography uses dye and X-rays to help doctors see the veins and arteries around the spinal cord. The dye is given through a catheter inserted into an artery in the groin. This procedure can ...

To determine if lipin1 KD could also promote regeneration in other spinal tracts, the researchers examined the regeneration of ascending sensory axons and found that lipin1 KD also significantly ...

The corticospinal tract (CST) is a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the brain to the spinal cord, controlling fine motor skills. Using a rigorous complete spinal cord injury model, the researchers ...
