Pioneering studies suggested that motor information in the cortex is coded through the combined actions of large populations of widely tuned neurons rather than by small numbers of highly tuned ...

Advances in the control of prosthetic arms, or even exoskeletal arms, continue to amaze. Yet someone with a severe neck injury doesn't need any such device since the greatest arm they could imagine is ...

Electrical stimulation of surviving nerves of the upper spinal cord damaged by severe injury can improve motor control of the upper limb and allow individuals with limited arm function to partially ...

UCLA researchers have partially restored hand and arm function in paralysis patients without performing surgery. In a study published in April, UCLA neuroscientists demonstrated a new technique to ...

Pre-clinical experiments suggest that electrical stimulation of surviving nerves of the upper spinal cord damaged by severe injury will allow individuals with limited arm function to partially regain ...
