We report an important role for microglia in regulating neuroplasticity within phrenic motor neurons. Brief episodes of low oxygen (acute intermittent hypoxia; AIH) elicit a form of respiratory motor ...
A recent study published in Nature 1 used an optogenetically-activated behavioral paradigm in fruit flies to demonstrate that individual motor neurons command their target muscles in a biased manner ...
Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...
Rugby league player Jai Arrow's recently announced diagnosis of motor neuron disease has again brought this devastating disease to public attention. Motor neuron disease is relatively rare, with fewer ...
This article and associated images are based on a poster originally authored by Hannah Sharplin, Stuart Prime, Jessica Tilman, Steven Broadbent, David Wallbank and Ashley Barnes and presented at ELRIG ...
A pioneering study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences by researchers at Durham University has revealed promising results for a new treatment targeting motor neuron disease ...
