Through a device called a brain-computer interface (BCI) it's possible to control a robotic arm or a wheelchair with thoughts alone. But for many users, learning to operate these systems is slow ...

In contrast, current therapies for brain disorders mostly treat only symptoms. The new delivery systems carry genetic material into the brain and spinal cord for targeted use by specific cell types.

In a new clinical study, researchers from the Texas Biomedical Device Center (TxBDC) at The University of Texas at Dallas demonstrated unprecedented rates of recovery for spinal cord injuries.

Scientists have engineered dozens of adeno-associated virus (AAV) systems that ferry genes to specific neuron and glial subtypes in the brain and spinal cord with unprecedented accuracy.

A new, incision-free technique developed at UVA Health shows strong early results in treating cerebral cavernous malformations, nearly halting lesion growth. Cavernous malformations, or cavernomas, ...

A lab develops brain wave decoder that may help in spinal cord injury rehabilitation.

Because the brain is functioning normally, as is the spinal cord below the injury, researchers have been working to re-establish the communication to allow for rehabilitation and potentially ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a 3D atlas mapping brain regions that connect to V1 spinal interneurons, which shape motor output.

Nearly 100 works made by Ruby Larkin, who is nonverbal and non-ambulatory, are on display and for sale at the Northport Public Library through Dec. 29.
