A new electrical stimulation therapy for spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) has shown promise in reactivating motor neurons and ...

The Brain Tour, inside dementia is an app designed for iOS and Android phones, that uses augmented reality to transport users inside the brain. Whether you're curious to explore a healthy brain or ...

Mouse model reveals what triggers fast neural response COLD SPRING HARBOR, N.Y. — The brain’s ability to rapidly adapt to changing rules is crucial for survival, yet scientists have struggled to ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.

In a small human trial in SMA patients neurostimulation sessions improved motoneuron function, reduced fatigue, and improved leg muscle strength and walking.

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal ...

The findings demonstrate that the brain and the immune system collaborate to prepare for future challenges and reveal how they "learn" to activate the immune system based solely on sensory information ...

For now, humans remain slow thinkers. We dream faster than we speak. We see more than we can process and we imagine more than ...

Yep, you read that right (but how fast did you read it?). This isn’t the speed at which synaptic impulses travel from the sensory neurons to the brain (that’s roughly 120 meters per second in case you ...
