Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

A study suggests overactive VCP may contribute to ALS nerve damage by disrupting nuclear pore proteins in genetic ALS.

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal ...

A groundbreaking drug candidate found to protect nerve cells damaged by motor neuron disease (MND), could offer new hope to people living with this devastating condition. Researchers at the University ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the occupants of danger. But imagine if the device could transform into something ...

A small molecule known as 10H-phenothiazine reduced the loss of motor neurons, the nerve cells that are lost in SMA, in ...

Nothing teaches us how the brain works like neurosurgery, maintains Theodore Schwartz, MD, of Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. "We tend to think about neuroscientists, neurologists, and ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point to a new way of treating nerve pain.

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...
