Scientists at the University of British Columbia have built a robotic platform that shows how the brain keeps us upright. The device, described as a “body‑swap” robot, can alter the forces involved in standing balance and introduce short delays in
Researchers at the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science have shown that noninvasive spinal stimulation can help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain stepping movements. The system links signals from the hands to stimulation of the lumbar spine. When

Astrocytes are star‑shaped support cells that make up much of the brain’s structure, helping neurons communicate and maintaining the blood‑brain barrier. They are essential for healthy brain function, but scientists have struggled to study them because astrocytes lose their distinctive
