Such connections between sensory and motor neurons underlie motor reflex loops and several forms of involuntary behavior, including pain avoidance. In humans, such reflex circuits are commonly ...

Motor learning tied to intelligent control of sensory neurons in muscles. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2016 / 03 / 160331125355.htm ...

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

But how these neurons communicate in between seeing and acting is a complex—and important—consideration. New research led by the Cognition and Sensorimotor Integration Lab at the University of ...

The authors show that in a mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), there is a reduction in sensory synaptic drive that leads to motor neuron dysfunction and motor behavior impairments. SMA ...

The 1a sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) collect proprioceptive (i.e., sensory) information from muscles, which they then transmit to motor neurons in the spinal cord. Those motor ...

"Silent neurons refer to neurons that do not show task-related activity—remaining inactive despite presentation of sensory stimuli and execution of behavioral decisions and motor actions," Gauld ...

Motor neurons are messenger nerve cells that relay information from the brain or spinal cord to muscles. Your every move -- raising your arm, puckering your lips or wiggling your toes -- depends ...
