Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal ...

The amplitude and CV of the sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) were measured (normal values peak-to-peak amplitude ≥ 10.0 μV; CV ≥ 50.0 m/s). Continuous and dichotomous variables were used to ...

Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel has suffered another setback in his ongoing recovery from injury after revealing that nerve damage in his shoulder forced him to postpone a return to on-bike training.

The trial selected the electromyograph (Nicolet EXD electromyography evoked potential system) to perform sensory conduction function and motor conduction function tests. Indicators selected include ...

Your nervous system is made up of two main parts: the brain and the spinal cord, which combine to form the central nervous system; and the sensory and motor nerves, which form the peripheral nervous ...

The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (motor nerves, sensory nerves, cranial and spinal nerves, autonomic ganglia ...

UBC zoologists and researchers at the Smithsonian Institution have discovered a sensory organ in rorqual whales that coordinates its signature lunge-feeding behaviour – and may help explain their ...

The vagus nerve (VN) is the primary parasympathetic nerve, providing two-way communication between the body and brain through a network of afferent and efferent fibers. Evidence suggests that altered ...
