Over the past decade, we have witnessed a flourishing of novel strategies to enhance
neuroplasticity and promote axon regeneration following spinal cord injury, and results from …

Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability in the world. Over the past few
decades our understanding of the pathophysiology of stroke has increased, but greater …

Spinal cord injury disrupts the communication between the brain and the spinal circuits that
orchestrate movement. To bypass the lesion, brain–computer interfaces,, have directly …

Biological cells are characterized by highly complex phenomena and processes that are, to
a great extent, interdependent. To gain detailed insights, devices designed to study cellular …

Neuromodulation, the use of electrical interfaces to alter neuronal activity, has been
successful as a treatment approach in several neurological disorders, including deep brain …

After an initial period of recovery, human neurological injury has long been thought to be
static. In order to improve quality of life for those suffering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or …

Advances in soft materials, miniaturized electronics, sensors, stimulators, radios, and battery-
free power supplies are resulting in a new generation of fully implantable organ interfaces …

Regaining arm control is a top priority for people with paralysis. Unfortunately, the
complexity of the neural mechanisms underlying arm control has limited the effectiveness of …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability. While neurotechnology has shown promise for
improving upper limb recovery after stroke, efficacy in clinical trials has been variable. Our …

This is an updated and abridged edition of the original volume published in 2004. Like its
predecessor it is targeted for students of bioengineering, biomedical engineering, applied …
