But the voices represent a vast improvement on previous communication technologies and are already improving the lives of people with motor neuron diseases, says Richard Cave, a speech and ...

Motor neurons project from the central nervous system to innervate muscle cells to either directly or indirectly control their activity. Contact between a motor neuron and muscle cell is usually ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Besides, a load-cell (LC62SP, OMEGA Engineering ... of spike trains was calculated in order to assess the degree of synchronized discharge between two motor neurons, as suggested in Dai et al. (2017).

In 2021, researchers worked out that a major cause of damage to motor neuron cells was the loss of a protein called UNC13A, which helps nerve cells pass messages to each other. In patients with MND, ...

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers have discovered a dual regulatory mechanism safeguarding ...

This work presents an important mouse model for a liver-specific depletion of the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) protein, where the liver retains 30% of functional full-length SMN protein. The authors ...

This study demonstrates the critical role of Afadin on the generation and maintenance of complex cellular layers in the mouse retina. The data are solid, which provides important insights into how ...

cf.ac.uk OBJECTIVES To assess the frequency and severity of coughing and choking episodes, possible related factors, and their association with chest infections in patients with motor neuron disease ...

Introduction Electrodiagnostic evaluation is crucial in establishing the diagnosis of motor neuron disease (MND) and excluding other pathologies. It is recommended that sensory nerve conduction ...

Background: Upper motor neuron-dominant ALS (UMND ALS) is recognized to have early onset and good prognosis, but may have a rapid decline in motor function due to gait instability in the early stage.
