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

A large number of experiments model attention as a gain change wherein the receptive field of a neuron as measured by its peri-stimulus histogram is modified by a scalar multiplier [3]. gamma-phase ...

Frontiers Events is a rapidly growing calendar management system dedicated to the scheduling of academic events. This includes announcements and invitations, participant listings and search ...

Moreover, the approach introduced in this paper can be used to well-approximate the distribution of the sum of independent generalized-K random variables by a gamma distribution; the need for such ...

Background New criteria for the neurophysiological diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease (ALS/MND) were recently proposed at an international symposium in Awaji-shima, Japan.

One in 300 of us will develop motor neurone disease in our lifetime. It is a hideous disease that robs a person of their dignity and eventually their life.

A musician who found himself struggling to tap his foot in time to a beat has said it was an early sign of motor neurone disease (MND). Patrick Darling, from Bristol, said he ignored a number of ...

Spinal recordings revealed loss of high-frequency firing in ALS mice, and EMG showed an abnormal fractionated character with step-to-step variability and flexor/extensor coactivation, associated with ...

Physicians frequently note that patients with motor neuron disease (MND)/amyotrophic lateral sclerosis appear undistressed, and may even report a high level of quality of life, despite their evident ...

Motor neurons, shown with their axons (nerve fibers) labeled in green, are seen growing on a spinal cord organ-chip developed by Cedars-Sinai. Credit: Svendsen Lab.

You feel your body slowly shutting down—but your mind remains sharp, painfully aware of what’s happening. This is the everyday reality of people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in Kenya.
