KEY FINDING: Systematic biases were observed in amplitude discrimination tasks, with the intensity of the second stimulus often overestimated, and the degree of overestimation depended on perceptual sensitivity.

KEY FINDING: The analgesic effect of EA on neuropathic pain in mice was frequency-dependent.

KEY FINDING: The RISES system demonstrated safety and feasibility for tSCS application in clinical settings. There were no serious adverse events and skin integrity was unaffected at stimulation sites.

KEY FINDING: 91% of respondents experienced bladder problems, and 73% had bowel problems.

KEY FINDING: MSCs contribute to nerve regeneration via various mechanisms, including differentiating into Schwann cell-like cells, which support axonal growth and clear debris.

KEY FINDING: Peripheral nerve injury induces a series of changes from the central nervous system to the peripheral nervous system and target organs, impacting cortical plasticity, spinal cord neurons, and muscle tissue.

KEY FINDING: aFGF treatment significantly increased the probability of a 10-point improvement in motor score compared to the placebo group.

KEY FINDING: Severity of initial presentation correlates with long-term functional outcomes. Cases with more neurological impairment at the start had greater disability at follow-up.

KEY FINDING: Implanted neuroprostheses can have a significant positive impact on the health, function, and overall quality of life for individuals with spinal cord injuries.

KEY FINDING: COVID-19-related spinal cord manifestations include acute transverse myelitis, acute necrotizing myelitis, SARS-CoV-2 myelitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and others.
