The neural control of locomotion emerges from the coordinated activity of brainstem centres, spinal circuits and peripheral feedback pathways. At the core of this system, spinal central pattern ...
New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits, findings that may point to a new way to treat neurogenerative disorders. New research shows ...
In Canada, between 3,000 and 4,000 people are living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that remains ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting and limb paralysis. This neurodegenerative condition results from the gradual destruction ...
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 ...
Irisin, a hormone released during exercise, appears to directly shield neurons from damage in a mouse model of multiple ...
