A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

Studies have shown that in ALS patients, microtubules—which are the major component of the cell cytoskeleton and serve as tracks for transporting components from cell bodies to neuronal ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...

London, Feb 13 (PTI): A new AI tool that accurately predicts the need for a feeding tube could transform patient care and improve quality of life for people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

An efficient neural screening approach rapidly identifies circuit modules governing distinct behavioral transitions in ...

Jesy Nelson has been incredibly open about her twin babies' SMA type one diagnosis in the hope of spreading awareness about ...

For a league that levitates between being buttoned up at times — but loose and edgy in others — the Super Bowl halftime has ...

Alexander Betley and colleagues have pinpointed a specific brain circuit in mice that appears to set limits on how long the animals can run, tying endurance to neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus ...
