A new study led by researchers at Brown University's Carney Institute for Brain Science offers a blueprint to help scientists prevent and reverse motor deficits that occur in old age. As humans age, ...

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 ...

Motor neurons innervate muscle cells to control various voluntary and involuntary movements. The progressive degeneration of motor neurons is the core of neuromuscular disorders, such as ALS. AxoCells ...

Scientists at the University of Washington and Harvard Medical School, in collaboration with the ESRF, have discovered the neural circuits that coordinate leg and wing movements in the fruit fly ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...
