Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

Researchers have identified a network of connections linking the brainstem and spinal cord that helps control hand and arm movements, revealing an unexpected layer of the nervous system enabling ...

The project entails preparing and analyzing Nissl and immunostained sections through the human brainstem. Tissue has been obtained from the Witelson Normal Brain Collection. Structures to be analyzed ...

Deep within the brainstem is a structure no bigger than a grain of rice, the locus coeruleus. The LC is often referred to as the “blue spot” because of a distinct blue pigment produced from its inner ...
