“Our findings identify an unexpected function for VSCTs as key controllers of mammalian locomotion and demonstrate that a single neuronal type is essential for such behavior, fundamentally ...

A new mathematical model predicts that mammalian sperm cells have two distinct swimming modes. This prediction opens new questions about potential connections between sperm cells’ motor activity ...

Mammalian sperm cells propel themselves by beating their flagella back and forth, thanks to chemically powered motors that drive waves along their flagella, which are threadlike appendages.

Research in mice identifies neurons that control locomotion. Cell Press. Journal Cell Funder NINDS, NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, NIAAA, SMA Foundation, Project-ALS ...

The transition from sprawling (reptile-like) to more upright (parasagittal) posture and locomotion was a transformative event in mammalian evolution ...

For more than a century, scientists have known that while the commands that initiate movement come from the brain, the neurons that control locomotion once movement is underway reside within the ...

We hope that our findings will open up new avenues toward understanding how complex behaviors like locomotion come about and ... J.I., et al. (2022) Control of mammalian locomotion by ventral ...

Evolutionary backing found in analysis of mammalian vertebrae Date: May 13, 2019 Source: New York University Summary: Differences in numbers of vertebrae are most extreme in mammals which do not ...

Sometimes, it takes neuroscientists much longer than one might expect to substantiate everyday observations that seem like common sense. For example, during continuous moderate-to-vigorous ...
