This Review discusses the spinal neuronal changes that occur after a complete spinal cord injury (SCI) in humans. Early after an SCI, neither locomotor nor spinal reflex activity can be evoked. Once ...

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 ...

According to a study supported by the National Institutes of Health, a training regimen to adjust the body's motor reflexes may help improve mobility for some people with incomplete spinal cord ...

A training regimen to adjust the body's motor reflexes may help improve mobility for some people with incomplete spinal cord injuries, according to a new study. A training regimen to adjust the body's ...

Hyper-reflexia, measured as a decrease of low frequency-dependent depression of the H-reflex, is known to occur in both humans and animals after spinal cord injury (SCI). Previous studies have shown ...

How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? How vertebrates coordinate the eternal tug-o-war between involuntary reflexes and seamless voluntary movements ...

How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? This paper cuts directly into critical debates about how the ancient spinal cord and the relatively new human ...
