  1. 🧠 New paper by Wimalasena, Pandarinath, AuYong et al: #spinal #interneuron populations form a low-dimensional #manifold that robustly organizes step cycles.

    Distinct regions of the manifold mark flexion–extension transitions, and a specific “hold region” tightly controls cycle duration. Deletions emerge as failures to enter the flexor region, giving a dynamical signature of disrupted CPG function.

  2. 🐟 Zebrafish can heal spinal cord
    A research team at the University of Cologne has discovered that zebrafish can regenerate their spinal cord after an injury and restore their motor function. The findings could provide a long-term approach for developing therapies for humans.

  4. University of Louisville: UofL researchers create world’s largest brain tumor database to speed treatment discovery. “A team led by Akshitkumar Mistry, a neurosurgeon and scientist at UofL and UofL Health, has created the Atlas of Nervous System Tumors. It is the largest publicly available dataset of its kind and includes more than 7,000 tumor samples from the brain, spinal cord and nerves, […]

  12. Feel like I’ve been run over by a bus. Currently back in bed trying to rest.

    Spinal cord injury is a right pain, but I try not to feel sorry for myself. There are people with bigger problems than mine.

    If only every day was predictable, this is probably the worst I felt for a month or so, normally the Gabapentin keeps a lid on things.

    Going to force myself out in the car to go and buy some farm cider, and enjoy the drive with the roof down.

    Interesting.

    From the original research article*:

    "...we inferred that the AluY insertion may mediate an alternative splicing (AS) event of the hominoid TBXT in an unusual way. This AluY element is not inserted in the vicinity of a splice site; instead, it is >500 bp from exon 6 of TBXT, the nearest coding exon (Fig. 1b). As such, it would not be expected, by itself, to lead to an AS event, as found for other individual intronic Alu elements near exon boundaries that directly affect splicing32,33,34. However, we noted the presence of another Alu element (AluSx1) in the reverse orientation in intron 5 of TBXT that is shared among all monkeys and apes (simians). Together, the AluY and AluSx1 elements form an exon-flanking inverted repeat pair (Fig. 1b). We therefore posited that during transcription, the hominoid-specific AluY element pairs with the simian-shared AluSx1 element to form a stem–loop structure in TBXT pre-mRNA and traps exon 6 in the loop (Fig. 1c). An inferred model of the RNA secondary structure supported the interaction between these two Alu elements35 (Extended Data Fig. 2). The secondary structure of the transcript may conjoin the splice donor and receptor site of exons 5 and 7, respectively, and promote the skipping of exon 6, thereby leading to a hominoid-specific and in-frame AS isoform: TBXTΔexon6 (Fig. 1c).

  20. Over two years since spinal surgery went wrong I'm still try to find the old me. Days are filled with pain, fatigue and low energy, oh and work. Some days are darker than others.

    Recently met my first other spinal surgery injured person, and we had so much in common with our injuries. Was great to talk to her and it gave me hope, something that I've been lacking.

  21. The armor of armored #fish started out as part of the #nervoussystem
    It turns out that in early branches of the fish family tree, like the sturgeon, the neural crest forms the bony armor that covers them, suggesting an ancient role in #bone formation that goes back to the armored fish of the #Devonian. Cells from the developing #spinalcord make the #sturgeon's bony, armored plates.

  23. Walking naturally after spinal cord injury using a brain–spine interface

    A spinal cord injury interrupts the communication between the brain and the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to paralysis. Here, we restored this communication with a digital bridge between the brain and spinal cord that enabled an individual with chronic tetraplegia to stand and walk naturally in community settings.

  24. Wireless Brain-Spine Interface: A Leap Towards Reversing Paralysis

    Researchers have designed a wireless brain-spine interface enabling a paralyzed man to walk naturally again. The ‘digital bridge’ comprises two electronic implants — one on the brain and another on the spinal cord — that decode brain signals and stimulate the spinal cord to activate leg muscles.
    Remarkably, the patient experienced significant recovery in sensory perceptions and motor skills.

  31. Today in 1985, Rick Hansen left Vancouver, beginning his Man in Motion Tour. For the next 26 months, he logs 40,075 km through 34 countries.
    By the time he returns to Vancouver on May 22, 1987, he has raised $26 million for spinal cord research.
