New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

Rats exhibit significant recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injuries, albeit with altered gait expression and reduced speed and stepping frequency. These changes likely ...

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

You feel your body slowly shutting down—but your mind remains sharp, painfully aware of what’s happening. This is the everyday reality of people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in Kenya.

Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a rare disease that causes slowly worsening muscle weakness, mainly in your hands, arms, and legs. It affects your body's motor nerves, which control your muscles.

Motor neuron disease articles from across Nature Portfolio Motor neuron disease usually refers to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but it can also refer to other kind of neurodegenerative disease ...

Motor neurons project from the central nervous system to innervate muscle cells to either directly or indirectly control their activity. Contact between a motor neuron and muscle cell is usually ...
