The nervous system can reorganize itself after spinal cord injury and use new pathways to restore the cellular communication required for walking, scientists have shown. The discovery could lead to ...

Researchers have revealed an interaction between cortico-brainstem pathways during training-induced recovery in stroke model rats. The researchers demonstrated that the rapid compensatory recruitment ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

A collaborative study in neuroscience, spearheaded by a research team of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), sheds light on new possibilities for treating central nervous ...

Study shows nervous system can reorganize itself, use new pathways to issue commands to move Spinal cord damage blocks the routes that the brain uses to send messages to the nerve cells that control ...
