A review of current research and drug development in motor neuron disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and spinal muscular atrophy shows progress in the identification of treatment pathways ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have developed a novel reinforcement learning–based generative model to predict neural signals, creating ...

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one that ...

"Multifocal Motor Neuropathy Pipeline Insight"DelveInsight's analysis reveals several companies advancing innovative therapies in the multifocal motor neuropathy clinical pipeline, with groundbreaking ...

Tics are irregular, uncontrollable, and repetitive movements of muscles that can occur in any part of the body. Types of tic disorders include motor, vocal, and Tourette’s syndrome. Movements of the ...

Scientists have now described the engineering of a bright red fluorescent protein-based voltage indicator, providing pathways to understanding complex neurological disorders. Designated as FlicR1 ...

Chewing a bagel while reading the morning news, speaking while driving, dislodging a piece of food stuck between two teeth: In these and other tasks, the tongue and the brain coordinate intricate ...

Your nerves transmit messages within the brain, as well as among the brain, spinal cord, and the body. In order to do this, they use a combination of electrical and chemical signaling. Motor neurons ...

Tics are sudden, uncontrollable, spastic movements or verbal outbursts. These movements or vocalizations are repetitive, do not follow a rhythm, and are generally involuntary. Persistent motor or ...

New genetic research has identified a direct causal chain connecting the microorganisms in the human digestive tract to the risk of developing severe psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions. The ...
