How does the brain communicate with the rest of the body? One critically important way for that communication to happen is via the spinal cord, a really complex bundle of nerve cells and fibers, embedded in a canal that is protected by our spinal columns. The spinal cord makes it possible for information to flow from the brain to the rest of the body and for information from the body to flow up the brain.
September is Spinal Cord Awareness Month and we are pleased to be discussing this important topic.
Dr. Brad Schlaggar, CEO and President of Kennedy Krieger is joined with two of his colleagues.
