Spinal cord circuitry, not the brain, controls reflexes for smooth movements, as revealed in a study. This could pave the way for newer neurological disorder therapies. An intriguing question has ...

How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? How vertebrates coordinate the ...

This was to test the stretch reflexes in your spinal cord, which resist muscle stretching to give you muscle tone to hold your body up against gravity for example, fast corrections after tripping.

Reflex control could improve walking after incomplete spinal injuries Date: February 5, 2013 Source: NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke ...

Electrical spinal cord stimulation in reflex sympathetic dystrophy: retrospective analysis of 23 patients. J Neurosurg 1999;90:Suppl:79-83. Crossref. PubMed. Web of Science. Google Scholar. 11.

Your spinal cord can make its own memories independent of your brain, neuroscientists have found. The discovery opens up new avenues for treating patients in recovery from spinal cord injuries and ...

The Babinski reflex may show a problem in the corticospinal tract — or CST. CST is a neural pathway that goes from your brain to your spinal cord and helps you control your movements.

The effect of spinal cord stimulation in patients with chronic reflex sympathetic dystrophy: two years' follow-up of the randomized controlled trial. Ann Neurol 2004;55:13-18 Crossref ...

The simulation experiment: To test whether and how a spinal circuit can allow voluntary movements by modulating or inhibiting movement perturbations that arise from stretch reflexes, the team, led ...
