Objective: Determine intramuscular fat (IMF) in affected skeletal muscle after complete spinal cord injury using a novel analysis method and determine the correlation of IMF to plasma glucose or ...

Research published in the journal Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology has established for the first time the extent of brain cell loss in a person with MS over their life. By dissecting and ...

The spinal cord is harder to access and study than even the brain. The challenges posed by its mobility and anatomical structure have made understanding exactly how it functions difficult. Rice ...

Researchers use cutting-edge technologies to uncover differences in neural control for arms and legs. Legs and arms perform very different functions. Our legs are responsible primarily for repetitive ...

Legs and arms perform very different functions. Our legs are responsible primarily for repetitive locomotion, like walking and running. Our arms and hands, by contrast, must be able to execute many ...

The human immune system can be an overenthusiastic caregiver. In a spinal cord wound, immune cells often aggravate the injury by stirring up inflammation long after it’s needed, which hinders healing.
