SCI Regeneration MapWhat the world knows about repairing the injured spinal cord

Seven directions of research

A subject this map covers

Cortical stimulation

A list of codes kept in this browser. No name, no medical answer and no account — nothing personal is stored and nothing is registered.

Part of: Neuromodulation

What belongs here

Stimulation of motor cortex with an implanted electrode in spinal cord injury.

What does not belong here, however close it looks

Non-invasive brain stimulation has its own concepts — TMS and tDCS.

What has been looked at

Counted from what the sources catalogue, not from reading the work. It says how much exists and over what span of years — never what any of it found.

  • Registered or indexed as work in people: 332 records · 1984–2026
  • Indexed as work in animals: 179 records · 1973–2026
  • Indexed as laboratory work: 5 records · 2006–2017
  • The source has not said who or what was studied: 59 records · 1992–2026

    Checked

    Records a person has read against the original and published into this map. These carry measurements, evidence states and a place on the ladder.

    • A brain–spine interface that links cortical signals to epidural electrical stimulation of the lumbosacral spinal cord restores standing and walking ability after spinal cord injury.

    Found in the scientific sources, not yet checked

    Titles and identifiers as the sources publish them. Nobody here has read these papers, and nothing on this shelf is a result, a recommendation or evidence that anything works. Each line opens the original.

    575 records

    This grouping is the source's own cataloguing, not a reading of the paper. It says where a record was filed, not what it found.

    Where this was looked for, and when

    The exact question each source was asked, the day it was asked, and what came back. A zero on this page is only honest if these are on it.
