Signals for rhythmic movements can be produced in the spinal cord, locomotion center, to enable movements such as swimming and walking, even when isolated from the brain. The brain controls spinal locomotion center by sending command to the spinal locomotion center to start, stop and change waking speed. In most cases of spinal cord injury, the loss of this link from the brain to the locomotion center causes problems with walking. The research group came up with ...Friday, 15 August 2014
Computer-bypass Commands from Brain to Legs
Signals for rhythmic movements can be produced in the spinal cord, locomotion center, to enable movements such as swimming and walking, even when isolated from the brain. The brain controls spinal locomotion center by sending command to the spinal locomotion center to start, stop and change waking speed. In most cases of spinal cord injury, the loss of this link from the brain to the locomotion center causes problems with walking. The research group came up with ...
