This Review discusses the spinal neuronal changes that occur after a complete spinal cord injury (SCI) in humans. Early after an SCI, neither locomotor nor spinal reflex activity can be evoked. Once ...

The dartos reflex (DR) produces unilateral elevation of the testis with vermicular contraction of the scrotal skin and penile retraction. It is a somato-autonomic reflex that depends on the T11-L2 ...

A training regimen to adjust the body's motor reflexes may help improve mobility for some people with incomplete spinal cord injuries, according to a new study. A training regimen to adjust the body's ...

This study investigates changes in spinal excitability using peripheral nerve stimulation. We use the Hoffman reflex (H-reflex) to assess segmental changes following a neuroplasticity-priming ...

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a painful, disabling disorder of unknown pathophysiological origin that usually commences after trauma to or surgery on a limb. In chronic cases, the syndrome leads to ...

How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? How vertebrates coordinate the eternal tug-o-war between involuntary reflexes and seamless voluntary movements ...

LA JOLLA--(December 10, 2020) When you touch a hot stove, your hand reflexively pulls away; if you miss a rung on a ladder, you instinctively catch yourself. Both motions take a fraction of a second ...

A training regimen to adjust the body's motor reflexes may help improve mobility for some people with incomplete spinal cord injuries, according to a study supported by the National Institutes of ...

We often think of our brains as being at the centre of complex motor function and control, but how 'smart' is your spinal cord? Turns out it is smarter than we think. It is well known that the ...
