A new study reveals that inhibitory neurons born later in development mature more quickly than earlier ones, allowing them to catch up and integrate evenly into neural networks.

The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells (neurons) that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected ...

Not only do neural progenitors persist in the adult brain, but many of these cells are in active stages of division.

A new study finds rare neural stem cells in the adult human hippocampus, suggesting some brains can generate new neurons into ...

Background New criteria for the neurophysiological diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease (ALS/MND) were recently proposed at an international symposium in Awaji-shima, Japan.

Spinal recordings revealed loss of high-frequency firing in ALS mice, and EMG showed an abnormal fractionated character with step-to-step variability and flexor/extensor coactivation, associated with ...

Motor neurons, shown with their axons (nerve fibers) labeled in green, are seen growing on a spinal cord organ-chip developed by Cedars-Sinai. Credit: Svendsen Lab.

You feel your body slowly shutting down—but your mind remains sharp, painfully aware of what’s happening. This is the everyday reality of people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in Kenya.

Abstract We0004: Diabetes Exacerbates Loss of Skeletal Muscle Mass and Vascular and Motor Function in Ischemia through Reduction of Proliferation in the Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells Population ...

Fruit flies, fast skiers and electrical signals between muscles and neurons are helping researchers uncover a possible link between extreme exercise and MND.

Huntington's disease has long defied attempts to rescue suffering neurons. A new study in Cell Reports shows that transplanting healthy human glial progenitor cells into the brains of adult animal ...
