In the Neural Engineering Center, we also focus our research on neural computation and control. Modeling of neural systems such as brain or peripheral nervous systems are powerful tools for the ...

State-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people with amputations achieve a natural walking gait, but they don't give the user full neural control over the limb. Instead, they rely on robotic sensors ...

Planarians are flatworms that have a simple central nervous system (CNS) but an extraordinary ability to regenerate neural tissue. Their CNS is divided into distinct molecular and functional domains ...

New research from Northwestern University has uncovered a previously unexplored relationship between a gene critical to immune cells and the establishment and maintenance of skeletal muscle mass and ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease. An intervention, ...

Muscle memory is one of those phrases everyone uses, but the science behind it is a lot more interesting than “your muscles remember”. It is a story about your brain, your nervous system and your ...
