Brigham Young University engineer Christopher Mattson designs technology that targets the needs of the world's poorest populations. He and his students have produced new water-well designs for villages in Africa and new tools for farmers...

Dr. Joanne Smith, president and CEO of Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, speaks with Stefanie Ilgenfritz, the WSJ's health and science bureau chief, about decoding and rewiring the brain.

Researchers have tested a new technique using electrical stimulation on the spinal cords of paralyzed patients to help them walk again.

This video tutorial covers the topography of the spinal cord (... hence the name) as well as structural features of the spinal cord.

In this video, we the structure and functions of the corticospinal tracts including the lateral and medial (anterior) divisions.

In this video, we discuss the blood supply to the brain stem and higher brain originating from the vertebral arteries and internal carotid arteries. We also see the structure of the Circle of Willis.

In this video, we the structure and functions of the corticobulbar tracts and the divisions destined for the midbrain, pons, and medulla.<br/>

In this video, we explore the mechanism, risk factors, and patient presentation (signs/symptoms) for cauda equina syndrome.

In this video, we explore how the combined action of the transverse abdominus, multifidus muscle, and the IST complex (interspinous - supraspinous - thoracolumbar complex) stabilize the spine and protect the spinal cord.

In this video, we explore the anatomy and physiology of the spinal accessory nerve.

In this video, we discuss the anatomy and functions of the spinal accessory nerve, cranial nerve XI.

In this video, we discuss the differences between radicular pain and a true radiculopathy including their most common mechanisms.

In this video, we discuss the structure and course of the vertebra artery from its subclavian source to its fusion into the basilar artery.

In this video, we explore the mechanisms of spasticity and baclofen, the major drug used in the treatment of spasticity. Also be sure to check out my video on the Modified Ashworth Scale!

A keynote tutorial that covers the clinical anatomy of muscles and nerves of the scapulothoracic joint.

Can you wiggle your ears? If so, you're a prime candidate to try out a new headset from Reach Bionics. The small business has created technology that harnesses EMG signals from ear muscles. The creators demonstrated the device at the...

In this video, we explore the two major pain modulation mechanisms in TENS and IFC: gate control and endogenous opioid theories.

In this video, we first explore the basic statistics of and concepts regarding sleep paralysis. Then, we dive into the physiological mechanism that causes it.

In this video, we discuss the presentation and diagnosis for lumbar spinal stenosis.

In this video, we discuss the mechanism of how the upper 3 cervical spinal nerves (C1-C3) refer pain into the head via the trigeminocervical nucleus.

In this video, we discuss the function of the transverse cervical ligament and what happens when it’s integrity is compromised.

In this video, I explain and demonstrate the Sharp-Purser test, which is used to assess integrity of the transverse cervical ligament. More specifically, we cover its rationale, interpretation of results, and psychometric properties.

In this video, we explore: 1) the anatomy of the sternum 2) the anatomy and differences between the three classes of ribs 3) the anatomy and differences between the three classes of vertebrae 4) C1 and C2 [Atlas and Axis] 5) the sacrum...

In this video, we discuss the Glasgow Coma Scale for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and answer 2 NPTE practice questions on the topic.
