Stroke remains a major global health challenge and a leading cause of adult disability. Rehabilitation aims to restore motor function, enhance independence, and improve quality of life through ...

(Nanowerk News) A new study conducted by SISSA and the University of Trieste shows the efficacy of carbon nanotube implants to restore motor functions and paves the way for a new therapeutic approach ...

After spinal cord injury or stroke, axons originating in the brain's cortex and along the spinal cord become damaged, disrupting motor skills. Now, according to new findings published today in Neuron, ...

When the spinal cords of mice and humans are partially damaged, the initial paralysis is followed by the extensive, spontaneous recovery of motor function. However, after a complete spinal cord injury ...

Brain tissue can die as the result of stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurodegenerative disease. When the affected area includes the motor cortex, impairment of the fine motor control of the hand ...

If the spinal cord in a mouse or human suffers damage, temporary paralysis occurs until the damage is healed, and motor function is then restored. But when the spinal cord damage is severe and total, ...

Neuroscience company Panaxium Research Inc. is developing personalized neurostimulation therapies to restore lost motor function following stroke and traumatic brain injury. Its platform integrates ...

Most treatments for strokes aim to help reduce or repair damage to affected neurons. But a new study in mice has shown that a drug already in use to treat certain neurological disorders could help ...

Most strokes happen when an artery in the brain becomes blocked. Blood flow to the neural tissue stops, and those tissues typically die. Because of the locations of the major arteries in the brain, ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation can restore optimal motor skill acquisition in people with diminished learning capabilities, e.g. due to age, according to a new study. Even though we don't think about ...
