Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Understand the different types of neurons (motor, sensory, interneuron) and their structure, function, and location in the body.

The cable equation or the Telegraphers equation describes the propagation of action potential along the nerve fiber. In this work, the cable equation is extended into modeling and simulation of action ...

A pioneering study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences by researchers at Durham University has revealed promising results for a new treatment targeting motor neuron ...

Different types of neurons (nerve cells) make up the brain and the nervous system. They send and receive signals that enable us to move, feel sensations, and think. Learn more about how neurons ...

The necessary velocity profile along the length of the fiber for different diameters for α type, Aα Erlanger-gasser classified motor neuron and γ type, Aγ Erlanger-gasser classified motor neuron; and ...

GABAergic — release GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid). They are often inhibitory, meaning that they reduce the chance that the postsynaptic neuron will fire. Cholinergic — release acetylcholine.

Upper motor neuron lesions can result in muscle weakness, muscle wasting, overreactive reflexes, spasms, and other issues that can impair mobility.

Gamma oscillation is the synchronization with a frequency of 30–90 Hz of neural oscillations, which are rhythmic electric processes of neuron groups in the brain. The inhibitory interneuron network is ...

Reason for deprecation Currently, CL:0000717 'fusimotor neuron' and CL:0008037 'gamma motor neuron' are siblings. The former is defined as "A subset of motor neurons that innervates intrafusal muscle ...
