Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have developed a novel ...

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 ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Aya Takeoka at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan and colleagues have discovered the neural circuitry in the spinal cord that allows brain-independent motor learning. Published in ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Patients with central cord syndrome who underwent early surgical decompression had improved recovery in upper ...

One of the most formidable tasks for people who experience a spinal cord injury (SCI) is regaining control over their body movements. Such control allows them to hold a mug or use a computer, for ...

A motor evoked potential (MEP) test can determine whether there is any damage along the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. It is a painless procedure but may cause some skin discomfort. An MEP test ...
