Quantitative spinal cord (SC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presents many challenges,
including a lack of standardized imaging protocols. Here we present a prospectively …

With the brain, the spinal cord forms the central nervous system. Initially considered a
passive relay between the brain and the periphery, the spinal cord is now recognized as …

Force generation is a crucial element of dexterity and a highly relevant skill of the human
motor system. How cerebral and spinal components interact and how spinal activation is …

Mapping the structural and functional connectivity of the central nervous system has become
a key area within neuroimaging research. While detailed network structures across the …

Most of our knowledge about the human spinal ascending (sensory) and descending
(motor) pathways comes from non-invasive electrophysiological investigations. However …

Background Parkinson's disease (PD) has traditionally been viewed as an α‐
synucleinopathy brain pathology. Yet evidence based on postmortem human and animal …

The investigation of spontaneous fluctuations of the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD)
signal has recently been extended from the brain to the spinal cord, where it has stimulated …

The spinal cord is important for sensory guidance and execution of skilled movements. Yet
its role in human motor learning is not well understood. Despite evidence revealing an …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain has helped to reveal mechanisms of
pain perception in health and disease. Recently, imaging approaches have been developed …

Mapping the neural patterns that drive human behavior is a key challenge in neuroscience.
Even the simplest of our everyday actions stem from the dynamic and complex interplay of …
