When determining the effects of a pharmacological treatment on motor capabilities, a proper tool should be employed. Standard motor tests, including open field or rotarod, are often insufficient at ...

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 ...

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 ...

Old age is accompanied by more than just wrinkles. With age, it typically becomes harder for people to walk, stand up, and move as they used to. This decline in mobility is in part mediated by the ...

A research team has revealed that a molecule in the brain -- ophthalmic acid -- unexpectedly acts like a neurotransmitter similar to dopamine in regulating motor function, offering a new therapeutic ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...
