Traditionally, scientists classify neurons based on function into three broad types: Sensory, motor, and interneurons are the most common neuron types, Of these, interneurons are the most abundant.

A new model allows researchers to predict how decision-making changes when specific neural connections are strengthened or ...

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

Treating the neurons and me — my mental states — in a synergistic way proved to speed up and enhance healing. It does for ...

Neurons are made of three parts Neurons receive ... It includes the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. The sensory and motor nerves that run through the extremities and internal organs are ...

Three patients with spinal muscular atrophy had improved muscle strength and could walk farther after a month of daily spinal ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle ...

These manipulations can be designed to permit neuroscientists to address key questions regarding the dynamics of sensory and motor information encoding by distinct populations of neurons.

Strikingly, changes in these peptides occur in two other types of peripheral neurons after axonal injury, namely, sensory and motor neurons. These two signals also are involved in triggering a growth ...

They found that these IL-1R1-positive neurons are involved in circuits that control sensory processing, mood regulation and memory. "Our study shows how certain neurons are connected to immune ...

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

Three patients with spinal muscular atrophy had improved muscle strength and could walk farther after a month of daily spinal ...
