A group of nerve cells in the brain has the remarkable ability to completely stop all forms of movement, a new mouse study shows. The discovery provides valuable insight into how the nervous system ...
At the heart of this breakthrough is a surgical procedure known as the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface, or AMI. Unlike traditional amputation methods, the AMI reconnects muscles in the residual ...
Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...
A woman was left partially paralyzed after a neck surgery. She couldn't lift her left arm, and her shoulder often popped out of its socket. After a delicate nerve transfer, she was able to fully move ...
Strokes often leave people with reduced arm function, which is difficult to regain. While physical therapy may help, full recovery is elusive and becomes even less achievable the more time passes ...
(A) Rat hindlimb motion capture for gait analysis. Four markers were attached to the hip joint, knee joint, ankle joint, and foot, respectively, to record the hindlimb’s trajectory. The hindlimb model ...
Parkinson's disease is degenerative neurological disorder that primarily affects movement due to damage to dopamine-producing nerve cells ...
New research has revealed that the nervous system circuitry that controls arm movement in octopuses is segmented, giving these extraordinary creatures precise control across all eight arms and ...
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological condition that can affect several areas of the brain. The area it affects the most is known as the substantia nigra, which is involved with movement. Nerve ...
Neuropathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes, resulting as a result of damaged nerves. A lot of other diseases are also followed by nerve, joint, and bone pain that can be ...
