Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system ... The three neuron types (sensory, motor, interneuron) are separated into ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

Recent research is the latest to weigh in on a raging debate over the eligibility of medical aid in dying programs.

Neurofilament light (NFL) is a powerful and sensitive biomarker for tracking neuronal health and disease progression.

To counteract neurodegeneration, we need two things – stop neuron ... surviving motor neurons receive fewer stimulation inputs from sensory nerves – fibers that return the information from skin and ...
