Pulses of electricity delivered to a precise location on the spinal cord have helped two stroke patients regain control of a disabled arm and hand, a team reports in the journal Nature Medicine. The ...

The neural control of rhythmic arm and leg movements encompasses the integration of central and peripheral pathways that coordinate locomotion and complex motor tasks. These processes involve both ...

Electrically stimulating spinal neurons in two people with upper body paralysis due to stroke helped them partially regain arm function. This is the first time spinal cord stimulation has been used to ...

Implantation of a brain-computer interface (BCI) into tetraplegic participants allowed for consistent control of a robotic arm and hand for reaching and grasping, according to a study performed at the ...

A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution of ...

University of Arizona researchers have revealed new insights into the neurobiological cause of the involuntary, uncontrollable movement disorders that develop in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) ...
