In an ALS study, growth factor FGF4 reduced the activity of star-shaped cells called astrocytes but did not stop motor ...

The main function of the spinal cord is to carry nerve signals between your brain and the rest of your body. This includes motor commands and sensory information. The spinal cord also helps coordinate ...

In this way, the discharge activity of multiple motor units can be provided as visual feedback in real-time. We provide a complete framework with guidelines and examples of recordings to guide ...

Until now, the details of neuron swelling in the spinal cord weren’t clear, says Bo Chen, a neuroscientist at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. “We didn’t know how long ...

A UNIGE team has discovered the genetic programs that allow motor neurons to retract from the spinal cord. This discovery ... and allow specific staining of neuron subtypes, the research team ...

Scientists have developed a new test for a biomarker in brain tissue that could detect people who will go on to develop motor neuron disease ... in the brain and spinal cord.

The researchers tried delivering extra κ-opioids to the mice, and the scarring was reduced; but the spinal cord injuries were more severe, and the mice did not recover their motor coordination as well ...

brainstem and spinal cord. A combination of upper and lower motor neuron dysfunction comprises the clinical ALS phenotype. Although the ALS phenotype was first observed by Charcot over 100 years ago, ...
