Figure 1: Two opposing views of the motor cortex. The stimulation-evoked movements observed by Fritsch and Hitzig suggest that motor cortex is a structure for movement generation, whereas the ...

Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. This miniature highway system is vital for keeping neurons healthy: ...

When determining the effects of a pharmacological treatment on motor capabilities, a proper tool should be employed. Standard motor tests, including open field or rotarod, are often insufficient at ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

A research collaborative has revealed the changes in the brain that occur to take over motor functions that were lost due to brain lesion. The researchers generated permanent lesions in the cerebral ...

The motor cortex homunculus is getting a makeover. New research has essentially redrawn the motor cortex and constitutes one of the most substantial shifts in our topographical knowledge of a sensory ...

A man with a complete spinal cord injury, who had lost motor function below the level of the injury, has regained the ability to move his legs voluntarily and stand six years after his injury. A ...

Changes in motor units closely reflect disease severity in people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), suggesting potential ...

Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential ...
