Researchers have created a 3D atlas mapping brain regions that connect to V1 spinal interneurons, which shape motor output.

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function.

St. Jude researchers developed a 3D atlas tracing brain connections to spinal V1 interneurons, crucial for movement. Using ...

Motor neuron disease (MND), also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a degenerative disease that affects the ...

Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle movement, but these signals typically pass through spinal interneurons before they reach their destination.

Some muscles are resistant to the loss of motor neurons seen in patients with spinal muscular atrophy, and new research has ...

Using approaches that make brain tissue transparent and allow specific staining of neuron subtypes ... project into the ...

The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves and supporting tissue that extends from the brain. It has an essential role in conducting motor and sensory information from and to the brain, as well as in ...

Analysis of the cultured LMNs showed that in addition to maintaining ALS cellular markers, their survival rates mimicked ALS ...

Researchers have uncovered in anglerfish a specialized motor neuron population for the first dorsal fin used for 'fishing'. When the first dorsal fin evolved from a swimming and buoyancy aid to a ...

The findings were published today in Neuron. “We have known for decades that the motor system is a distributed network, but the ultimate output is through the spinal cord,” said corresponding ...
