Electric motor failures are often caused by “in-operation” factors, such as production activities and the factory environment in which they operate. Other failures are due to “off-line” factors, ...

After spinal cord injury or stroke, axons originating in the brain's cortex and along the spinal cord become damaged, disrupting motor skills. Now, according to new findings published today in Neuron, ...

When the spinal cords of mice and humans are partially damaged, the initial paralysis is followed by the extensive, spontaneous recovery of motor function. However, after a complete spinal cord injury ...

Most strokes happen when an artery in the brain becomes blocked. Blood flow to the neural tissue stops, and those tissues typically die. Because of the locations of the major arteries in the brain, ...

Gain Therapeutics’ phase 1 drug for Parkinson’s disease associated with a common gene mutation appears to restore motor function in mice, even after a delay between symptom onset and treatment, new ...
