Brain Pain and Mycoplasma A Mediator of The PNS Neuropathies
A description of an article on the discovery of the cells in the brain that are conjectured to control pain. A collection of articles and commentary about the recent possibility that mycoplasma organisms could be the root of the PNS neuropathies. Mycoplasma organisms are virus sized bacteria that must live within the cells of the host.

Neuropathic Pain: New Insights, New Interventions - Part III
The conclusion of a three part series on Neuropathic Pain. This segment discusses the effect of neuropathic pain upon the circuits of the nervous system - and how they become altered. This alteration makes current pain management treatments ineffective. Thus it is necessary to research each type of pain individually and to find an effective treatment - based upon the rewired circuitry of the nervous system.

Can Spinal Cord Injury be Repaired?
A gene named NOGO has been found that produces a protein that inhibits the regeneration of cells in the Central Nervous System. Armed with that knowledge, a team of scientists has produced a specific protein inhibitor that allows regeneration, thus offering hope to hundreds of thousands of paralized people.
