Tole combines ultrasound and AI to improve motor neuron disease diagnosis, reducing reliance on invasive procedures.

An international research team, led by Shinghua Ding at the University of Missouri, has identified a previously unknown genetic disease that affects movement and muscle control. The disease—called ...

Rugby league player Jai Arrow's recently announced diagnosis of motor neuron disease has again brought this devastating disease to public attention. Motor neuron disease is relatively rare, with fewer ...

Everything You Need to Know About Motor Neuron Diseases: By Anjali Srivastava What is motor neuron disease, and how does it affect the body? Simply put, it’s a group of rare neurological conditions ...

This schematic illustrates how the body’s motor neurons and muscle fibers are connected before (left) and after (right) developmental pruning. “Each blob corresponds to a motor unit,” Navlakha ...

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

Researchers use biocompatible polydopamine nanoparticles and near-infrared light to remotely trigger activity in neuron and muscle cells with minimal side effects. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Remote control ...

Planarians are flatworms that have a simple central nervous system (CNS) but an extraordinary ability to regenerate neural tissue. Their CNS is divided into distinct molecular and functional domains ...

A new study from the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience researchers may help explain an enduring mystery about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): why the disease kills off some of the brain and ...

The spatial organization of chromatophore-muscle innervation by motoneurons enables the generation of chromatophore-shaped noise, virtual or composite chromatophores, and shape elements such as lines ...
