Clinical trials: Cervical Spinal Cord Plasticity
Central Cord Syndrome
The Natural History of Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury Using fMRI, MRS and DTI
Traumatic spinal cord injury is a common injury to the spine and can lead to a clinical syndrome called central cord syndrome (CCS).

Cervical Spinal Cord Plasticity
Cervical Spinal Cord Associative Plasticity
Associative plasticity has been used to promote functional recovery from conditions affecting movement. Prior work from the Carmel laboratory has shown that paired associative stimulation protocols timed to converge in the…
