Spinal Cord: Information Processing

Spinal Cord: Information Processing

The spinal cord is an integral hub for motor and sensory information that enables the brain to communicate with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). This communication consists of relaying sensory data and transmission of motor commands.
Sensory Information Processing
Sensory information processing begins at the sensory receptors located in the skin and other tissues, which detect somatic sensory stimuli such as touch, temperature, or pain. These receptors function as catalysts, initiating...

Spinal Cord

Spinal Cord

The spinal cord, a critical component of the central nervous system, extends from the base of the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column. It is essential for maintaining physical stability and facilitating communication between the brain and peripheral parts of the body.

Wave Parameters

Wave Parameters

The simplest mechanical waves are associated with simple harmonic motion and repeat themselves for several cycles. These simple harmonic waves can be modeled using a combination of sine and cosine functions. Consider a simplified surface water wave that moves across the water's surface. Unlike complex ocean waves, in surface water waves, water moves vertically, oscillating up and down, whereas the disturbance of the wave moves horizontally through the medium. If a seagull is floating on the...

Brain Waves

Brain Waves

Brain waves are electrical signals generated by the neurons in the brain, which are regularly monitored to measure mental activities. Brain waves and their frequency ranges can be measured using an electroencephalogram or EEG. There are four main types of brain waves, each with distinct characteristics:

The Spinal Cord

The Spinal Cord

The spinal cord is the body’s major nerve tract of the central nervous system, communicating afferent sensory information from the periphery to the brain and efferent motor information from the brain to the body. The human spinal cord extends from the hole at the base of the skull, or foramen magnum, to the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra.

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded through a neutral impedance, is designed to produce balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence components. The generator's sequence networks include a source voltage that is exclusively in the positive-sequence network. The sequence components of line-to-ground voltages at the generator terminals illustrate this configuration.
Zero-sequence current induces a voltage drop across the generator's neutral impedance and other...

Background:

A unique spinal wave phenomenon has been observed in association with Network Spinal Analysis care.
Research since 1997 has focused on characterizing this wave using surface electromyography (sEMG).

Purpose of the Study:

To review and contextualize the research on the spinal network wave.
To explain the mathematical and physiological characteristics of the spinal wave.

Main Methods:

A narrative review of existing research on the spinal network wave.
Analysis of surface electromyography (sEMG) data to characterize the wave's properties.

Main Results:

The spinal wave is an electromagnetic and mechanical phenomenon involving spinal musculature.
Mathematical characterization reveals the wave possesses properties of a central pattern generator (CPG).
Coherence at a distance was observed between the sacral and cervical spine.

Conclusions:

The spinal network wave may be the first identified CPG in the spine not related to locomotion.
The wave is a robust phenomenon, and its detection may offer new measures for central nervous system health.
This discovery has implications for spinal cord injury recovery and reorganizational healing.
