A project at the Salk Institue for Biological Studies has now demonstrated a wearable microscope with customized micro-optics intended to deliver high-speed multi-color imaging, able to be implanted ...

It ultimately yielded views of more than 30,000 neurons spread across a 3-millimeter span of spinal cord of each mouse. Cells called inhibitory neurons, which dampen other cells’ activity ...

This research used a mouse model of spinal cord injury. However, abnormal, potentially life-threatening autonomic reflexes also occur in other animals and in people with spinal cord injury ...

meaning their spinal cord was cut off from their brains. One mouse was designated as the "control," the other "experimental." Both were then dangled from a harness. When the experimental mouse's ...

It was a shot in the dark — or at best, a dimly lit room: injecting a mouse with a little bit of spinal cord fluid from someone with the most common form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...

Aya Takeoka, RIKEN Center for Brain Science Before jumping into the neural circuitry, the researchers first developed an experimental setup that allowed them to study mouse spinal cord adaptation ...

In a new study, Gauthier was surgically implanted with an experimental spinal cord neuroprosthesis to correct walking disorders in people with Parkinson’s disease. Step by step, he said ...
