If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk more ...
Scientists grow specialized nerve cells that degenerate in ALS and are damaged in spinal cord injury
Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

Touch—the first sense to develop in the womb—is fundamental to our bodily experience and our everyday lives. Yet, as the least studied of the five senses, it remains somewhat mysterious at the ...
A team led by HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow Shan Meltzer has created a detailed, cell-by-cell map of the spinal cord that offers a new framework for understanding chronic pain and provides a powerful new ...
Areflexic, or flaccid, bladder and bowels occur when the spinal cord injury is low enough to damage the cauda equina and alpha motor neurons. It also occurs in all spinal cord injury patients during ...
SMA pathology affects a wider range of cells, including astrocytes and microglia, beyond alpha motor neurons. Advanced techniques revealed significant ventral horn neuron loss and abnormal morphology ...
A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...
