Types of Neurons Sensory neurons The cell bodies of ... spinal interneurons to initiate the neural circuits that generate movement. Lower motor neurons originate in the spinal cord and directly or ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different ...

Areflexic, or flaccid, bladder and bowels occur when the spinal cord injury is low enough to damage the cauda equina and alpha motor neurons. It also occurs in all spinal cord injury patients during ...

Humans and other animal species can experience many types of pain throughout the ... different neural ensembles (i.e., groups of neurons) in the spinal cord. "How the spinal neural circuits ...

Converting one type of cell to another ... the generation of large quantities of motor neurons, which could potentially be used to treat patients with spinal cord injuries or diseases that ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating, genetic neuromuscular disease caused by a lack of a functional SMN1 gene that results in the progressive and irreversible loss of motor neurons.

Spinal muscular atrophy is caused by mutations in the survival motor neurons gene, SMN1. The SMN protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and the nuclear bodies. One hallmark of spinal muscular ...

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 ...
