The cerebellum, a major part of the hindbrain in all vertebrates, is important for motor coordination, language acquisition, and regulating social and emotional behaviors. A study led by Dr. Roy ...

For decades, scientists have known that motor proteins like kinesin-2 ferry vital cargo along microtubule "highways" inside ...

One of the brain’s fundamental roles is to generate the correct body movements at the correct time. Understanding how the brain accomplishes this task, and how this process goes wrong in disease, has ...

Motor neurons play a vital role in movement, linking the central nervous system with different muscles in the body. A new study has uncovered details about the process through which motor neurons ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. This miniature highway system is vital for keeping ...

Learn about motor neuron disease—its types, symptoms, causes, and treatments—to better understand how it affects movement, ...

Researchers showed that large motor neurons face high metabolic stress, making them more prone to degeneration. Reducing this ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons (in green) co-cultured with iPSC-derived astrocytes (in red). [VIB] Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Motor neurons play a vital role in movement, linking the central nervous system with different muscles in the body. As such, scientists are very interested in understanding the ...
