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 ...

Electromyographic study in complete and incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Tendon taps were delivered manually with an instrumented hammer to the tendons of the tibialis anterior and soleus muscle ...

This study investigates changes in spinal excitability using peripheral nerve stimulation. We use the Hoffman reflex (H-reflex) to assess segmental changes following a neuroplasticity-priming ...

One of the most important functions of interneurons in the knee-jerk reflex is to mediate reciprocal inhibition. This process ensures that the contraction of the quadriceps muscle is accompanied by ...

New research has shown that the spinal cord is able to process and control complex functions, like the positioning of your hand in external space. 'This research has shown that a least one important ...

With a study of the network between nerve and muscle cells in turtles, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have gained new insight into the way in which movements are generated and ...

Primary Injury: This refers to the immediate structural damage to the spinal cord at the time of the initial impact or insult ...

The Hoffman test, also known as the Hoffman sign test, lets your doctor know whether there are compression — or pressure — problems in your spine near your neck. During this brief examination, your ...

Stuttgart – A newborn giraffe or foal must learn to walk on its legs as fast as possible to avoid predators. Animals are born with muscle coordination networks located in their spinal cord. However, ...
