Paralysis results from neck and spinal cord injuries because the neural traffic that moves between the brain and the muscles is severed or blocked. Like a kink in a garden hose, spinal trauma cuts off the flow of information that travels along afferent nerves, which send signals from the body to the brain, and efferent nerves, which carry instructions from the brain to the body's musculature.
