Researchers electronically linked the brains of pairs of rats for the first time, enabling them to communicate directly to solve simple behavioral puzzles. A further test of this work successfully linked the brains of two animals thousands of miles apart - one in Durham, N.C., and one in Natal, Brazil.
Researchers report, in restless leg syndrome, neurons targeting muscles may be responsible.
A new study reveals how interneurons emerge and diversify in the brain.
A new study provides insights into networks of interneurons that carry out essential motor and sensory duties.
Cedars-Sinai has been awarded $11.99 million by California's stem cell agency to launch a clinical trial testing a potential gene and stem cell therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Researchers report neurons in the cerebellum send out their electrical signals either as a constant hum or in sudden bursts, depending on the voltage that crosses their cell membranes.
Researchers report a collapse of the mitochondria-associated membrane is a common halmark in two genetic forms of ALS.
Researchers have identified a compound that can stabilize a protein implicated in ALS and SMN.
Study implicates abnormalities in SOD1 with Parkinson's disease and ALS.
Research using C. elegans finds maple syrup may protect neurons and prevent the development of ALS.
Researchers have discovered a potential treatment that may help delay motor neuron loss in ALS.
A new study reports epidural stimulation could help people with spinal cord injuries to regain motor function.
