A new study reports long term memories might not be stored in synapses, as was previously thought.
A new study reports prediabetes may be more damaging to motor nerves than previously believed.
Findings could have implications for new avenues of research for a range of neurodegenerative diseases including ALS and Alzheimer's.
A new study reveals stabilizing the SOD1 protein can help reverse protein clumping in neurons affected by ALS.
Researchers have identified a mechanism which allows the brain to strengthen links between neurons.
UC Berkeley researchers report they have successfully used CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to delay symptoms and extend lifespan in mouse models of ALS.
New research could provide a more effective way to study disease which affect motor neurons.
A study suggests that spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a genetic neuromuscular disease in infants and children, results primarily from motor circuit dysfunction, not motor neuron or muscle cell dysfunction, as is commonly thought. In a second study, the researchers identified the molecular pathway in SMA that leads to problems with motor function.
Researchers use optogenetics to restore function to paralyzed muscles.
A newly developed sensor for prosthetic arms can detect spinal motor neuron signals, a new study reports.
Researchers develop a new method for generating human motor neurons from stem cells more quickly and efficiently.
Researchers propose improvements to how well ALS therapeutics work.
