The spinal cord is a long, tube-like structure extending from the base of your brain (the brain stem). It’s made of a collection of nerves and is encircled and protected by the bones of the spine (vertebrae). Spinal Cord Anatomy The spinal cord is a vital part of the central nervous...
The spinal cord is a bundle of nerve fibers, no thicker than the human thumb, that links the brain with the rest of the body. The spinal cord is protected by the vertebral column, and together with the brain it comprises the central nervous system. The nerves that enter and exit the ...
Objective To test the hypothesis that spinal cord posterior horn neurons are protected by hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning(HBO-PC) and mediated by inhibition of early apoptosis.Methods 24 Wistar male rats were randomly divided into 2 groups:control group and HBO-PC group.The rats in HBO-PC group...
The spinal cord is a bundle of nerve cells and fibers wrapped together extending down from the brain stem to the lower back. The cord is protected by a kind of bone tunnel made up of vertebrae which are separated by membranes called discs. The brain sends electrical signals through the spin...

The spinal cord is protected by bones, discs, ligaments, and muscles. The spine is made of 33 bones called vertebrae. The spinal cord passes through a hole in the center (called the spinal canal) of each vertebra. Between the vertebrae there are discs that act as cushions, or shock absor...
Early stages of sensorimotor system development in mammals are characterized by the occurrence of spontaneous movements. Whether and how these movements support correlated activity in developing sensorimotor spinal cord circuits remains unknown. Here we
