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 ...

Scientists have known for some time that motor output from the spinal cord can be adjusted through practice even without a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Spinal cord surgery to restore motor trajectories ... response from their motor neurons (the F-response). The motor neuron response from peripheral nerve stimulation on the unaffected side ...

1 Motor Neurons A motor neuron’s cell body is also often located either in the spinal cord or the brainstem with projections that interact with organs such as muscles and glands. Upper motor neurons ...

When a gene named Arhgap35 was mutated, the scientists observed that motor neurons failed to venture away from the spinal cord, instead snaking their way along the spinal cord’s edge, the scientists ...

There are many different types of neurons, and they all have special functions in the brain, spinal cord, and muscles that ...

Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries or diseases such as ... we're going directly from a somatic cell to a motor neuron." Galloway's research group and others have demonstrated ...

Washington DC: Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron ... of motor neurons, which could potentially be used to treat patients with spinal cord injuries ...

Converting one type of cell to another—for example, a skin cell to a neuron ... quantities of motor neurons, which could potentially be used to treat patients with spinal cord injuries or ...

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 ...
