The spinal cord is a long bundle of nerves and cells that extends from the lower portion of the brain to the lower back. Spinal cord functions include carrying signals between the brain and the rest ...

A new PET tracer can provide insights into how spinal cord injuries affect not only the spinal cord, but also the brain, according to new research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

A new PET tracer can provide insights into how spinal cord injuries affect not only the spinal cord, but also the brain, ...

AS stated in the preface, the present volume (being the Fullerian Lectures for 1891) discusses the spinal cord and ganglia alone, and is to be followed by two others, dealing respectively with the ...
