Motor learning is one of the most essential but overlooked skills in our daily life. From the way we walk to the way we eat and work with mobile phones, computers, and other tools, motor learning is involved in all of them. Several studies have provided evidence supporting neuroplastic changes in the human brain following … Continue reading “Spinal cord contributes to long-term motor learning”

Cervical spine and muscle adaptation after spaceflight and relationship to herniation risk
Astronauts are at increased risk of intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation when they return to Earth, and this may occur in both the neck and back regions. The risk of IVD herniation in the neck region is over 21 times more likely in astronauts than in the general population. Several factors could potentially explain this increased risk of IVD herniation following space … Continue reading “Cervical spine and muscle adaptation after spaceflight and relationship to herniation risk”
Machine learning approaches applied in spinal pain research
The latest review article from CPR Spine team members discusses the advantages and disadvantages of current analytical strategies in contemporary basic science and epidemiological research. The review considers how analytical machine learning approaches could provide the platform to harness the variability of patient presentations to enhance clinical prediction of pain persistence or recurrence. Reference: Falla … Continue reading “Machine learning approaches applied in spinal pain research”
