Objective The dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is a novel target for neuromodulation, and DRG
stimulation is proving to be a viable option in the treatment of chronic intractable neuropathic …

A first-ever spinal cord imaging meeting was sponsored by the International Spinal
Research Trust and the Wings for Life Foundation with the aim of identifying the current state …

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 …

Objectives Conventional spinal cord stimulation (SCS) delivers a fixed-input of energy into
the dorsal column. Physiologic effects such as heartbeat, respiration, spinal cord movement …

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 …

Spontaneous fluctuations in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals of the
brain have repeatedly been observed when no task or external stimulation is present. These …

The study of spontaneous fluctuations in the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal
has recently been extended from the brain to the spinal cord. Two ultra-high field functional …

A comprehensive review of the literature-to-date on functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI) of the spinal cord is presented. Spinal fMRI has been shown, over more than two …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the human spinal cord is a difficult
endeavour due to the cord's small cross-sectional diameter, signal drop-out as well as …

The spinal cord is the main pathway for information between the central and the peripheral
nervous systems. Non-invasive functional MRI offers the possibility of studying spinal cord …
