News from our collaborators!

From National Institutes of Health (NIH):

For decades, spinal cord stimulation treated chronic pain. Now researchers are using it to restore movement. NIH NINDS-funded teams are adapting this technology to help people with spinal cord injury and stroke regain strength and function.

In one study, stroke patients with severe arm and hand paralysis received cervical spinal cord stimulation. Within days, they lifted their arms and grasped objects. After weeks of training, they cut food on their own. Some gains lasted even after the device was removed.

Researchers are now developing closed-loop systems that use AI to adjust stimulation in real time. These advances could expand access and improve recovery.

News from our collaborators!

From The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research:

Open science means making research knowledge available and accessible so that discoveries can move further, faster.

As part of our dedication to open science and to finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease, MJFF has launched a publication database. This resource allows researchers, funders and anyone interested to access publications supported by MJFF.

By making these findings available, we aim to foster collaboration and help scientists build on existing research, replicate study infrastructures and explore new avenues of inquiry more efficiently — maximizing research impact and improving patient outcomes.
