Key TakeawaysElectrical stimulation can partially restore both mobility and sensation lost by a spinal cord injuryElectrodes above the injury simulate sensations from the legs, while electrodes below ...

Scientists offer new insight into how the body detects light touch and how disruptions in that process may contribute to sensory disorders.

The effects of spinal cord injuries are complex and multifaceted. People lose not only the ability to control the movement of their limbs, but also the ability to receive sensory feedback from them.

Teachers can use these research-based cognitive and behavioral cues to help students feel capable, focused, and ready to work, even when tasks are challenging.

Your heartbeat isn’t just keeping you alive; it's also talking to your brain and shaping how you experience pain. Recent research shows that the ...

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.

In a new study, scientists successfully trained a brain organoid derived from mouse stem cells to solve an engineering benchmark known as the “cart-pole problem.” By applying weak or strong electric ...

A research team at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a new noninvasive brain stimulation technique, by showing how focused ultrasound affects the human brain. Using brainwave recordings from ...

Scientists have discovered that applying an electric field to certain ceramics can dramatically redirect how heat moves through them.

Epileptic seizures alter sleep by prolonging the stage that's central to memory formation, potentially predisposing the brain to "remember" how to trigger subsequent seizures more easily, a small ...
