The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...
Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...
Our bodies’ nerve cells are important for transmitting electrical and chemical information between different parts of the brain and between the brain and other parts of the nervous system. One of the ...
(SALT LAKE CITY)—A new study by researchers at the University of Utah School of Medicine sheds light on a longstanding question about the role of mitochondria in debilitating and fatal motor neuron ...
The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neurone disease, for 55 years. He was one of the longest-surviving people with the condition ...
A research group from the Sackler Faculty of Medicine and the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University uncovered, for the first time, the biological mechanism causing nerve destruction in ...
A new genetic discovery adds weight to a theory that motor neurone degenerative diseases are caused by abnormal lipid (fat) processing pathways inside brain cells. This theory will help pave the way ...
A drug typically used to treat enlarged prostates and high blood pressure has shown promise as a potential new therapy for motor neuron disease (MND) -- also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
