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

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 ...

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

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.
