Touch signals from the skin are carried to the brain by intermingled projections of two pathways in the spinal cord. These pathways convey distinct features of tactile stimuli, and converge ...

Researchers have identified a previously overlooked neural pathway that helps control human hand and arm movements. The ...

Researchers have identified a network of connections linking the brainstem and spinal cord that helps control hand and arm movements, revealing an unexpected layer of the nervous system enabling ...

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

Recently published in the Journal of Neurochemistry, the SAHMRI-led study was a joint effort involving researchers from the University of Adelaide, the University of Melbourne and Flinders University.

New research suggests spinal cord and brainstem are essential for processing touch signals as they travel to the brain The sense of touch is essential to almost everything we do, from routine tasks at ...

In new results from a clinical trial, researchers show that electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can restore the muscle control and sensory feedback required for coordinated walking movements.

Your nerves transmit messages within the brain, as well as among the brain, spinal cord, and the body. In order to do this, they use a combination of electrical and chemical signaling. Motor neurons ...

One participant pointed to her chest. That, she explained, is where she felt her foot hit the treadmill. Not the foot itself, ...
