In order to instantly facilitate these bodily processes, highly specialized sensory and motor neurons (as well as interneurons) are used to transmit these signals and coordinate the way your body ...

Interneurons are the central nodes of neural circuits and allow for communication between sensory neurons, motor neurons, and the CNS. This category comprises the largest variety of neurons, which are ...

Anatomically, in vertebrate embryos, cranial motor neurons develop in columns and eventually cluster to form nuclei in discrete regions of the midbrain and hindbrain (which together make up the ...

A neuroanatomical minimal network model was revisited to elucidate the mechanism of salt concentration memory-dependent chemotaxis observed in Caenorhabditis elegans. C. elegans memorizes the salt ...

Following an injury, such as a traumatic crush injury, the peripheral nervous system is itself often able to effectively regenerate. This capacity of regeneration is mainly attributable to the Schwann ...

The array is physically divided into different sections: a sensory region, through which feedback and stimulation are provided to the neurons, and multiple motor regions. In Pong, a player must use ...

Earlier research in animal SMA models by study co-author George Mentis, PhD, at Columbia University indicated that surviving motor neurons receive fewer stimulation inputs from sensory nerves ...

An intervention, which involves electrical stimulation of the sensory spinal nerves, can gradually reawaken functionally silent motor neurons in the spinal cord and improve leg muscle strength and ...

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh say a new minimally invasive intervention can target the root cause of neural ...
