ALS is the most common form of Motor Neuron Disease (MND) in adults. An early hallmark of ALS is the breakdown of neuromuscular junctions—the connection between the end of a motor nerve and a ...

Neuroscientists report that they can inhibit muscle contractions by shining light on spinal cord neurons. The researchers studied mice in which a light-sensitive protein that promotes neural activity ...

Though motor neurons are the primary victims in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, it is their waning connections with muscles that ultimately triggers symptoms of the disease. This complex interaction ...

MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...

The muscle transmembrane protein Vangl2 helps organize the development and maintenance of connections between muscles and motor neurons, a study concludes. A skeletal muscle isn’t much use without a ...
