Revealing complex dynamics generated by spinal cord circuits to unprecedented detail – Tech Explorist

EPFL scientists have developed a non-invasive technique for unraveling the complex dynamics generated by spinal cord circuits to unprecedented detail, a first in functional magnetic resonance imaging that may one day help diagnose spinal cord dysfunction or i…

The spinal cord is a significant part of the nervous system essential for- controlling the movement of arms and legs, giving a sense of touch and a notion of where our bodies are in space.
How does the spinal cord support such complex behaviors?
To answer this question, researchers have ached to approach the spinal cord’s function in vivo. Until now, they used to depend on animal studies, But now the approach of fMRI provides another window into the richness of spinal cord signals, directly in…
