A new MIT study that focuses on a single cell in one of nature's simplest nervous systems provides an in-depth illustration of how individual neurons can use multiple means to drive complex behaviors.

A mutation in the TDP-43 protein reduces the viability of motor neurons without triggering protein clumps, researchers found.

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is ...

Previous studies have shown that exercise not only boosts muscle performance but also rewires the brain. Anecdotally, people ...

Researchers from the DZNE have solved an important puzzle in neurobiology: the wiring and the movement of nerve cells are interwoven, but separately controlled. The study focuses on neuronal growth ...

Florida State University researchers Patrick Stover and Regan Bailey have published findings showing that quadrupling the standard dietary dose of folic acid prevented peripheral neuropathy in two ...
