The field of aging neuroscience has increasingly recognized the complex interplay between motor function, tactile sensory ...

Paralysis on one side of the body is common after stroke. A new study in CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics demonstrates that ...

True acupoint acupuncture improves limb motor function and neurologic impairment in patients with stroke by enhancing structural plasticity.

Researchers have developed a gene therapy that significantly slowed motor function loss in preclinical models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), offering new hope for treating the devastating ...

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that gradually affects a person's ability to move, ...

Virtual reality (VR) technology was associated with enhanced balance and limb motor functions in critically ill adult patients compared with traditional rehabilitation techniques, new meta-analysis ...

Patients with Parkinson’s disease experienced more “good on” time, less “off” time and motor function improvements after a switch to 6 weeks of treatment with Crexont from another levodopa-based ...

A research collaborative has revealed the changes in the brain that occur to take over motor functions that were lost due to brain lesion. The researchers generated permanent lesions in the cerebral ...

MIT researchers have demonstrated a highly flexible neural probe made entirely of polymers that can both optically stimulate and record neural activity in a mouse spinal cord—a step toward developing ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...
