The spinal cord is the long, cylindrical bundle of nerve tissue that extends from the brainstem down through the vertebral canal, forming the central pathway through which signals travel between the brain and the rest of the body. As part of the central nervous system, it carries motor commands outward to muscles and relays sensory information inward, while also mediating reflexes through its own neural circuits. Because of this central role, damage to the spinal cord, whether from trauma, vascular abnormality, tumor, or disease, can cause varying degrees of paralysis, loss of sensation, and other serious complications depending on the level and severity of the lesion. Research in neurological science addresses both the normal organization of the spinal cord and the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect it. Within this journal's scope, relevant work includes a report on embolization for perimedullary arteriovenous fistulae, a vascular malformation affecting the spinal cord; a systematic review of spinal cord injuries in equestrian athletes examining incidence, risk factors, and outcomes; and an epidemiological analysis of malignant neoplasms of the central nervous system excluding the brain. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to the topic.
