Researchers at the Texas Biomedical Device Center—or TxBDC—discovered a way to retrain the brain’s fear response using a tiny ...

Our research is exploring the consequences of cervical spinal cord injury and the potential for spontaneous improvement in function (plasticity), and aims to develop treatments to improve recovery.

However, neuroscientists have been perplexed by how the spinal cord manages to achieve this extraordinary plasticity for decades. Aya Takeoka is a Professor of Neuroscience. Takeoka group ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

The H-reflex is a spinal reflex that serves as a useful tool for studying spinal cord function and plasticity. It is analogous to the stretch reflex and is often used to assess the excitability of ...

The present observations of cortical plasticity and functional central sensory programs are obviously of importance when assessing the outcome of future nerve and spinal cord repair strategies.

Given the nervous system’s tremendous ability to re-organize, we seek to identify innovative paradigms that shape this neural plasticity towards gains in motor performance. We conduct parallel ...

Daily electrical stimulation of certain nerves in the spinal cord appeared to help three people with spinal muscular atrophy ...
