GABAergic — release GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid ... These are found between motor neurons and muscle fibers (the neuromuscular junction). Adrenergic — release norepinephrine (adrenaline).

Motor neurons are nerve cells in your brain and spinal cord that control movement. They tell your muscles to squeeze (or "contract") so you can walk, talk, and move your body. You have two types ...

The results demonstrate for the first time that Bcl-2 plays a unique and critical role in the survival of gamma motor neurons generated during the latter part of neurogenesis. To examine the ...

There are two types of neurons in the nervous system; motor neurons and sensory neurons. Motor neurons are associated with the execution of a certain action. They deliver signals from the brain to ...

Analysis: while there are many suspects, no-one quite knows yet what causes motor neurons to die in motor neurone disease Motor neurons are cells in the brain which enable the brain to control ...

When you take a walk, talk to a friend, or chew a piece of food, motor neurons are behind these movements. Just like other parts of your body, they can become damaged. You may have heard of ALS ...

Despite the pivotal role of motor neurons in movement, how a single motor neuron contributes to control during movement remains unclear. Measuring the activity of individual neurons in moving ...

A team of Harvard stem cell researchers has succeeded in reprogramming adult mouse skin cells directly into the type of motor neurons damaged in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), best known as ...
