Motor neuron disease usually refers to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but it can also refer to other kind of neurodegenerative disease that affect the motor neurons, such as progressive primary ...

Studies on humans have generally been less definitive than those done on animals because it is substantially more difficult to record the activity of a single neuron in human brains. However ...

Whether these changes also occur in other forms of motor neuron disease (MND) is not well studied. We therefore systemically screened a large cohort of patients with primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) ...

The exact causes of contagious yawning are still debated, but two leading hypotheses are the nonconscious mimicry hypothesis and the empathic modeling hypothesis. These theories suggest that ...

A breakthrough study sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for learning and memory.

A recent study published in the journal Brain has revealed new insights into the neurological underpinnings of levodopa-induced dyskinesia, a common and debilitating complication of Parkinson’s ...

Jan. 23, 2025 — The prevalence of diagnosed disorders from recurrent use of sedative, hypnotic and anti-anxiety medications in adolescents and young adults has increased sharply since 2001 ...

Snows Motor Group raised £5,566.44 for the automotive industry charity Ben via its annual ‘Big ...

Ongoing work explores how failures of motor neuron and neuromuscular junction development lead to disorders of the ocular motor system, including a common misalignment of the eyes called ...

Moving forward, Dr. Schoppik’s team is funded to study their newly detailed circuit in the context of human disorders. Ongoing work explores how failures of motor neuron and neuromuscular junction ...
