Fluorescence imaging can reveal details of neuronal activity in sections of the spinal cords of animals, but collecting data from living subjects can be challenging. Developments in micro-optics ...

Transmission electron micrograph demonstrating diazoxide-mediated prevention of mitochondrial membrane damage and swelling in rabbit spinal cord after ischemia-reperfusion injury (magnification, ...

Longitudinal spinal cord section treated with the most bioactive therapeutic scaffold. Regenerated axons (red) regrew within the lesion. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...

To facilitate nerve regrowth, tissue engineers employ biodegradable polymer scaffolds. Shown at left, a micrograph of an actual scaffold used to stimulate spinal cord regeneration in rats. Center, a ...

The spinal cord is a long bundle of nerves and cells that extends from the lower portion of the brain to the lower back. Spinal cord functions include carrying signals between the brain and the rest ...
