Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one that ...

Fat-based vesicles help deliver GM1 to the brain, improving movement and extending survival in mouse models of ALS, a study finds.

For the first time, researchers from the University of Queensland (UQ) have mapped out the proteins implicated in the early stages of motor neuron disease (MND). Dr. Rebecca San Gil from Associate ...

Niigata, Japan – our movements are controlled by multiple neural pathways that connect the brain and spinal cord. In particular, neurons in the cerebral cortex send commands to the motor neurons in ...

In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...

No matter your age, investing in your brain health should be top of mind. Simple steps like eating brain-nourishing food, taking brain-boosting supplements like Cognizin citicoline, protecting your ...
