we established a human ascending somatosensory assembloid (hASA), a four-part assembloid generated from human pluripotent stem cells that integrates somatosensory, spinal, thalamic, and cortical ...

PCC is a procedure carried out in a conscious patient and uses radiofrequency ablation to create a heat lesion in the lateral spinothalamic tract in the upper cervical spinal cord, interrupting ...

People with spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease, usually experience muscle weakness that impacts movement. New research suggests that electrical spinal cord stimulation ...

Interpretation Larger width of ventral tissue bridges—a proxy for spinothalamic tract function—at 1 month post-spinal cord injury is associated with the emergence and maintenance of neuropathic pain ...

Like a slender, fragile vine made of highly sensitive tissue and a billion neurons, your spinal cord is like a living extension of your brain running through the body. It’s also one of the most ...

Also described as the spinothalamic tract, this is a long, white matter pathway that extends all the way up the spine to the brain. The spinal cord mediates sensation coming from the skin, bones, and ...

The most common causes of this syndrome are the following: diabetes, post-herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury ... pathway (small fibers and ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) occurs when a person's own immune system attacks the insulating covering (myelin) of nerve fibers in their brain, spinal cord, and/or eyes. If the brainstem is affected, a ...

Spinal cord stimulators specifically block pain by disrupting nerve signals through a tract of fibers called your spinothalamic tract. This tract runs through your spinal cord and connects to a ...
