Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system. These regions, including the cortex, basal ganglia, brainstem, and ...

flexor), as well as the contribution of motor command pathways such as the reticulospinal and corticospinal tracts. Initial quantification will ... to examine the structure and function of neuronal ...

The SynPull imaging protocol isolates synaptosomes for super-resolution microscopy. It can detect single aggregates of Aβ and tau inside and outside synapses. Tau aggregates appear inside synapses ...

Cleaning the box isn't anyone's favorite chore, but it can be an excellent way to keep an eye on your pet's urinary tract health. If your cat's bathroom habits change, it might be a sign that ...

The corticospinal system—with its direct spinal pathway, the corticospinal tract (CST) – is the primary system for controlling voluntary movement. Our approach to CST repair after injury in mature ...

There, they begin to form connections with other neurons. The process of forming these connections, or synapses, is called synaptogenesis. It occurs rapidly in the months before and after birth ...

Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allows visualization and quantification of critical white matter tracts. Corticospinal tract DTI (CST-DTI) in particular can be associated with motor ...

Background Evaluation of the structural integrity and functional excitability of the corticospinal tract (CST) is likely to be important in predicting motor recovery after stroke. Previous reports are ...
