means “cleft spine”. It is characterized by the partial development of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and/or meninges (the protective covering around the brain and spinal cord). Spina bifida comes from Latin and literally means "split" or "open" spine. Spina bifida occurs at the end of the first month of pregnancy when the two sides of the embryo’s spine fail to join together‚ leaving an open area.

birth defects. It is present in about 1 in every 1000 births. This birth defect is part of a group called neural tube defects. The neural tube is a hollow structure where the brain and spinal cord form. This happens at the end of the first month of pregnancy when the spinal cord is developing. As a result‚ the spinal cord and nerves become damaged. This defect causes an opening in the back that can be visible or hidden under the skin. There are 3 main types of Spina Bifida. One is spina bifida occulta

ABSTRACT NEW DISCOVORIES FOR THE REGENERATION OF DAMAGED NEURONS (Possible cures and relief for millions of people) Normally‚ neurons in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) cannot regenerate injured nerve fibers‚ limiting people’s ability to recover from brain or spinal cord injuries. Repair of the central nervous system and restoration of voluntary motor activity through axonal re-growth has long been considered impossible in mammals. Over the last decade‚ numerous attempts
