For the first time, researchers from the University of Queensland (UQ) have mapped out the proteins implicated in the early stages of motor neuron disease (MND). Dr. Rebecca San Gil from Associate ...

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

Our movements are controlled by multiple neural pathways that connect the brain and spinal cord. In particular, neurons in the cerebral cortex send commands to the motor neurons in the spinal cord and ...

Researchers have mapped out the proteins implicated in the early stages of motor neurone disease (MND). They have developed a longitudinal map of the proteins involved in MND across the trajectory of ...

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 ...

Developing motor neurons from stem cells taken directly from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients offers new hope for better understanding and treatment of the fatal neurodegenerative disorder ...

Niigata, Japan – our movements are controlled by multiple neural pathways that connect the brain and spinal cord. In particular, neurons in the cerebral cortex send commands to the motor neurons in ...
