Repetitive magnetic stimulation prevents dorsal root ganglion neuron death and enhances nerve regeneration in a sciatic nerve injury rat model

Scientific Reports
Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) often leads to retrograde cell death in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia (DRG), hindering nerve regeneration and functional recovery.

What is the contribution of voluntary and reflex processes to sensorimotor control of balance?

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
The contribution to balance of spinal and transcortical processes including the long-latency reflex is well known. The control of balance has been modelled previously as a continuous, state feedback controller representing, long-latency reflexes. However,

Kinesin Light Chains Are Essential for Axonal Transport in Drosophila [PDF]

, 1998
Kinesin is a heterotetramer composed of two 115-kD heavy chains and two 58-kD light chains. The microtubule motor activity of kinesin is performed by the heavy chains, but the functions of the light chains are poorly understood.

How Can a Ketogenic Diet Improve Motor Function?

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
A ketogenic diet (KD) is a normocaloric diet composed by high fat (80–90%), low carbohydrate, and low protein consumption that induces fasting-like effects. KD increases ketone body (KBs) production and its concentration in the blood, providing the brain

Evolution of postural control assessment: From dynamic posturography to virtual reality

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
During the early years of spaceflight it was documented that astronauts were impaired and incapacitated upon return to earth. Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) was devised to investigate and quantify this deficit, and eventually progressed into a ...
