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 ...

The regeneration of damaged neurons has been the ultimate goal for a large portion of neuroscience research. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that control neuronal growth is key to developing ...

Dogs with spinal cord injuries may soon benefit from an experimental drug being tested by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine ...

Zebrafish, unlike people, can recover from spinal cord injuries, thanks to a healing process that’s controlled by immune cells called macrophages. Gaining a better understanding of this phenomenon ...

Recent research demonstrates that small molecule activation of the protein KCC2 can reactivate dormant nerve pathways after spinal cord injury in laboratory mice. This molecule may have immense ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

A research team from the University of Cologne has shown how zebrafish can rebuild their nerve pathways and restore their locomotor function after a spinal cord injury. People who suffer severe spinal ...

Nagoya City University (NCU) researchers have revealed an interaction between cortico-brainstem pathways during training-induced recovery in stroke model rats, providing valuable insights for ...
