The therapy reorganized residual neural pathways, enabling durable recovery. This suggests DBS does more than stimulate movement—it may catalyze long-term changes in brain and spinal cord networks.

An atlas comprising space-time brain-wide transcriptionally active and spinal cord-projecting neurons involved in recovery in walking after incomplete SCI was constructed.

Reconnecting the brain and lower spinal cord is essential for a natural gait because it enables the body to know where the legs are in space, said Reggie Edgerton, a UCLA researcher who has led ...

This injury made him the ideal candidate for the brain-spine interface, or “digital bridge,” that scientists hoped would reconnect the pathways between the brain and the lumbosacral spinal cord.

It sends signals wirelessly from the brain to the intact, healthy part of the spinal cord on the other side of the injury to enable a person to move or have other critical functions.

Second person with spinal cord injury gets Neuralink brain chip and it's working, Musk says A second human has successfully been implanted with a Neuralink brain chip, and founder Elon Musk said ...

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

Research teams funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human brain and spinal cord ...

Gert-Jan Oskam was paralyzed in a biking accident in 2011. After rehab with an implant, he's been able to walk more than 330 feet at a time and climb stairs. CHUV / Gilles Weber A man paralyzed in ...
