the cervical (neck), thoracic (chest), and lumbar (lower back) regions. Three layers of tissue protect the spinal cord: the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater. Doctors call these layers ...

The spinal cord is divided into 4 regions: cervical, thoracic ... (membranes covering the brain and spinal cord): the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater. The dura mater forms the outermost ...

The cervical (neck) and the lumbar (lower back) components of the spinal cord are comparatively larger than the other regions. The lowest part of the spinal cord is called the “cauda equina ...

It's known as the e-Dura, as it's designed to be implanted on the spinal cord or cortex, beneath the dura mater – that's the protective envelope that surrounds the nervous system. The e-Dura is ...

Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale, in Lausanne, Switzerland, to design a soft, flexible electronic implant, which they say has the same ability to bend and stretch as dura mater, the ...

The odds are usually low after an epidural, too, unless the needle accidentally punctures the dura mater, a tough membrane that covers your spinal cord.

An easy-does-it implant Flexible and stretchy, the implant developed at EPFL is placed beneath the dura mater, directly onto the spinal cord. Its elasticity and its potential for deformation are ...

Flexible and stretchy, the implant developed at EPFL is placed beneath the dura mater, directly onto the spinal cord. Its elasticity and its potential for deformation are almost identical to the ...

So-called “surface implants” have reached a roadblock; they cannot be applied long term to the spinal cord or brain, beneath the nervous system’s protective envelope, otherwise known as the “dura ...
