A theoretical study of short - and long - range effects on neural excitation pulses might one day lead to controlling harmful signals such as those in strokes.

Once the signal was triggered, the spinal cord reengaged its neural network to control and direct muscle movements.

These findings indicate that the PPC of humans represents high - level, cognitive aspects of action and that the PPC can be a rich source for cognitive control signals for neural prosthetics that assist paralyzed patients.

As for those patients whose brains are trapped in inanimate bodies, implants that pick up electrical impulses can already translate neural signals to control a cursor, move a wheelchair, or say hello, although they are not now suitable for people with severe brain injuries.

Studies of early development in fishes show that neural networks in the brain controlling the more complex vocal and pectoral mechanisms of social signalling among birds and mammals have their ancestral origins in a single compartment of the hindbrain in fishes.
