Researchers have developed a new chip that could help test new treatments for ALS and other neuromuscular disorders. Read More
Research using C. elegans finds maple syrup may protect neurons and prevent the development of ALS. Read More
Using fruit fly models of ALS, researchers discover neurons given glucose transform the power source into energy, enabling them to survive longer and function better. Read More
Researchers have identified a naturally occurring molecule that has the potential for preserving sites of communication between nerves and muscles in ALS. Read More
Researchers report memories that trigger PTSD and anxiety can be erased without affecting other memories. Read More
When a motor neuron-specific pool of heat shock protein 90 (Hps90) was inhibited, motor neuron apoptosis was triggered. Read More
A new study finds slowdowns in the transport and delivery of proteins, nutrients and signaling molecules within nerve cells could contribute to the development of ALS. Read More
A new study sheds light on key aspects of nervous system development. Read More
Findings provide new hope for treating ALS and FTD, researchers report. Read More
Researchers have developed a new model to study neurodegenerative diseases which affect motor neurons, such as ALS. Read More
A new study reveals some brain systems in a dish, dubbed circuitoids, exhibit coordinated and spontaneous rhythmic activity that can drive repetitive movements. Read More
A new study uncovers molecular changes which may explain why motor neurons, rather than other neurons, are affected by the childhood illness, SMA. Read More
