A research collaborative has revealed the changes in the brain that occur to take over motor functions that were lost due to brain lesion. The researchers generated permanent lesions in the cerebral ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...

Recent findings from the International Space Station address wound healing, fine motor control in space, and radiation resistance by the station's Glowbug gamma-ray telescope. Electrical deep brain ...

A new study shows inhibiting the kinase p38α using the small molecule drug neflamapimod, could potentially improve cognitive and motor function in patients with neurodegenerative diseases that affect ...

A man with a complete spinal cord injury, who had lost motor function below the level of the injury, has regained the ability to move his legs voluntarily and stand six years after his injury. A ...

Increasing poor physical (motor) function from around age 65 is associated with an increased risk of death, finds research published by The BMJ today. Signs of increasing decline, such as difficulty ...

For nearly a century, scientists have recognized that different regions of the brain’s cortex are responsible for controlling various body movements. This understanding dates back to the 1930s, when ...

Dyspraxia is one of many neurodevelopmental disorders that affect how your neurological (nerve) system and brain function. Most people call it just dyspraxia, but the official diagnosis is ...
