Your nerves transmit messages within the brain, as well as among the brain, spinal cord, and the body. In order to do this, they use a combination of electrical and chemical signaling. Motor neurons ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

Niigata, Japan – our movements are controlled by multiple neural pathways that connect the brain and spinal cord. In particular, neurons in the cerebral cortex send commands to the motor neurons in ...

A drug candidate found to protect nerve cells damaged by motor neuron disease (MND), could offer new hope to people living ...

In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...

Our movements are controlled by multiple neural pathways that connect the brain and spinal cord. In particular, neurons in the cerebral cortex send commands to the motor neurons in the spinal cord and ...

A motor evoked potential (MEP) test can determine whether there is any damage along the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. It is a painless procedure but may cause some skin discomfort. An MEP test ...
