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

A noninvasive therapy delivering gentle spinal stimulation was shown to slow disease progression and extend survival in an ...

H-reflexes are routinely measured for diagnosing nerve disorders and injuries, but this is the first study to examine whether consciously modifying an H-reflex can help people with spinal cord ...

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy — Five-Year Follow-up. Published June 1, 2006. N Engl J Med 2006; 354: 2394-2396. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMc055504. VOL. 354 NO. 22.

They then implemented a simple spinal circuit whereby the same neurons in the spinal cord that control muscle force (called alpha motoneurons) also scale (i.e., modulate) the stretch reflex ...

This response generated by the spinal cord is called a 'stretch reflex,' and has previously been thought to be very limited in terms of how it helps movement.

The Hoffman test determines whether a person has spinal cord damage. During this quick test, you hold out one of your arms and open your palm facedown, extending your fingers in front of you.

This response generated by the spinal cord is called a 'stretch reflex,' and has previously been thought to be very limited in terms of how it helps movement.
