Polymer Fiber Probes Enable Optical Control of Spinal Cord and Muscle Function In Vivo [PDF]
Restoration of motor and sensory functions in paralyzed patients requires the development of tools for simultaneous recording and stimulation of neural activity in the spinal cord.

Spinal cord stimulation is the most common mode of neuromodulation used in managing chronic low back pain. It is minimally invasive and reversible as opposed to nerve ablation. The basic scientific background of the initial spinal cord stimulation trials was based on the gate control theory of Melzack and Wall.

Swimming Rhythm Generation in The Caudal Hindbrain of The Lamprey [PDF]
The spinal cord has been well established as the site of generation of the locomotor rhythm in vertebrates, but studies have suggested that the caudal hindbrain in larval fish and amphibians can also generate locomotor rhythms.

Modeling motor responses of paraplegics under epidural spinal cord stimulation [PDF]
Epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a promising therapy for spinal cord injury (SCI). This paper combines experimental data from epidurally-stimulated human paraplegic patients with computational models of SCS to identify the electric field ...

Use of spinal cord stimulation in managing neuropathic foot pain: an observational pilot case series study [PDF]
Objective: In cases of complex regional pain syndrome where conservative treatment is unsuccessful in controlling neuropathic foot pain spinal cord stimulation may be considered. To our knowledge there have been no such cases reported in the foot & ankle

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury is a medically complex and life-disrupting condition, associated with very high mortality rates (early death rates after admission range from 4 to 20%). In addition, it’s complicated subsequent severe disability due to the development of early or late complications.

Estimation of fiber diameters in the spinal dorsal columns from clinical data [PDF]
Lack of human morphometric data regarding the largest nerve fibers in the dorsal columns (DCs) of the spinal cord has lead to the estimation of the diameters of these fibers from clinical data retrieved from patients with a new spinal cord stimulation ...

Accuracy of transcranial magnetic stimulation and a Bayesian latent class model for diagnosis of spinal cord dysfunction in horses [PDF]
Background: Spinal cord dysfunction/compression and ataxia are common in horses. Presumptive diagnosis is most commonly based on neurological examination and cervical radiography, but the interest into the diagnostic value of transcranial magnetic ...
