Cervical laminectomy: To remove excessive pressure from nerve roots, your surgeon will remove a portion of the vertebral bone called the lamina to make more room for your spinal cord and spinal nerve.

D bioprinted nerve tissues offer new hope for ALS drug testing. Uppsala team creates motor neuron organoids from patient cells.

Spinal injuries may be made much worse by a chemical chain reaction set off by even minor damage to nerves. As the nerves die, they trigger the release of chemicals which kill neighbouring cells.

The obturator nerve location spans from your lumbar spine to your thigh, and it resembles a forking river. The top of the nerve is rooted in spinal nerves L2, L3, and L4.
