Neuroimaging research has demonstrated definitive involvement of the central nervous
system in the development, maintenance, and experience of chronic pain. Structural and …

Pain occurs in time. In naturalistic settings, pain perception is sometimes stable but often
varies in intensity and quality over the course of seconds, minutes, and days. A principal aim …

For the past 25 years, the field of neuroimaging has witnessed the development of several
software packages for processing multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to …

Template-based analysis of multi-parametric MRI data of the spinal cord sets the foundation
for standardization and reproducibility, thereby helping the discovery of new biomarkers of …

Human motor control requires the coordination of muscle activity under the anatomical
constraints imposed by the musculoskeletal system. Interactions within the central nervous …

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 …

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a progressive disease that worsens over time if
untreated. However, the rate of progression can vary among individuals and may be …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the human spinal cord at 7T has been demonstrated
by a handful of research sites worldwide, and the spinal cord remains one of the areas in …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common adult onset motor neuron disease
with no effective disease modifying therapies at present. Spinal cord degeneration is a …

In the absence of any task, both the brain and spinal cord exhibit spontaneous intrinsic
activity organised in a set of functionally relevant neural networks. However, whether such …
