A team of researchers have created a new resource for studying motor control of wing movements in fruit flies.

This is an important study utilizing innovative CRISPR based approaches demonstrating the role of the KLF family of transcription factors in the post natal maturation of cortical projection neurons.

Motor neuron disease is a progressive neuro-degenerative disease that causes muscle weakness and gets worse over time. The condition is typically life-shortening and there is currently no cure.

Understanding the neural substrates underlying the execution of how behavioral commands are generated in the nervous system, spanning from the sensory neuron input to motor neuron output, constitutes ...

The Myasthenia Gravis Center provides comprehensive care to patients with myasthenia gravis and other congenital disorders of the neuromuscular junction. We strive to offer patients a range of ...

Respiratory failure is the most frequent cause of death in people with motor neuron disease (MND). Vital capacity and maximal inspiratory and expiratory mouth pressures are the methods most commonly ...

Neurovascular coupling (NVC) underlies hemodynamic-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). While the hemodynamic response is assumed to reflect excitatory neural activity, inhibitory ...

Muscle strength grading is used to categorize muscle strength on a scale of 0 to 5 in relation to the expected strength for a muscle. One of the more common methods is a hands-on test called the ...
