Although a motor neuron pool innervating one muscle represents a tightly clustered cell body aggregate in a defined position in the spinal cord in wild types, corresponding cell bodies in Foxp1 ...

In vertebrates, motor neurons (also called motoneurons) are efferent neurons that originate in the spinal cord and synapse with muscle fibers to facilitate muscle contraction and with muscle ...

The spinal cord bladder and bowel reflex arc is damaged in patients with injuries to the cauda equina, lumbar and sacral segments below the conus medullaris. Patients do not typically transition to an ...

The findings were published today in Neuron. "We have known for decades that the motor system is a distributed network, but the ultimate output is through the spinal cord," said corresponding ...

Hyperrelexic, overactive or spastic bladder or bowels occur with spinal cord injury at or above T12. The primary characteristic of this type of injury is increased organ spasms. The UMN bladder may ...

The findings were published today in Neuron. We have known for decades that the motor system is a distributed network, but the ultimate output is through the spinal cord. There, you have motor ...

A reflex action follows this general sequence and does not involve the conscious part of the brain. This is why the response is so fast. Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in ...

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a clinical condition of upper motor neuron lesion signs, that is confirmed with advanced imaging demonstrating compression of the spinal cord in the cervical ...
