Dr Sophie Burling used her doctoral research to create a new patient-specific model of motor neurone disease, laying the ...

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 ...

Pictured are nuclei of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons stained for contrast. The nucleus on the left has been treated with DMSO (control) and appears mostly blue. The ...

A series of recent studies in mice and rats has mapped specific brain circuits that appear to drive chronic pain, identifying ...

Motor neurons are some of the largest cells in the human body. In particular, upper neurons—extending from the cerebral cortex to the brain stem or spinal cord—average 60μm in diameter. 3,4 These ...

Researchers found that FcγR signaling in microglia may drive neuron loss in Parkinson’s disease models. Blocking FcγR ...

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 ...
