Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1962 THE story of motor neurone disease goes back more than a hundred years, to the latter half of the igth century, and the days of the great clinical neurologists of France. Of the many famous names linked to this story three are pre-eminent: Charcot-physician and neuropathologist, and great teacher, who became even more renowned for his studies of ...

State Variables of the Arm May Be Encoded by Single Neuron Activity in the Monkey Motor Cortex [PDF]
, 2016 Revealing the type of information encoded by neurons activity in the motor cortex is essential not only for understanding the mechanism of motion control but also for developing a brain-machine interface.

Foxp1 and lhx1 coordinate motor neuron migration with axon trajectory choice by gating Reelin signalling. [PDF]
, 2010 Topographic neuronal maps arise as a consequence of axon trajectory choice correlated with the localisation of neuronal soma, but the identity of the pathways coordinating these processes is unknown.

Unsolicited written narratives as a methodological genre in terminal illness: challenges and limitations [PDF]
, 2011 Stories about illness have proven invaluable in helping health professionals understand illness experiences. Such narratives have traditionally been solicited by researchers through interviews and the collection of personal writings, including diaries ...

BMJ, 1996 In patients with motor neurone disease, progressively worsening breathlessness often coincides with deteriorating bulbar function, and this combination may lead to difficulties in swallowing and coughing and a risk of aspiration. Occasionally, chest infections cause life threatening respiratory failure.

Why Neurons Have Thousands of Synapses, A Theory of Sequence Memory in Neocortex [PDF]
, 2015 Neocortical neurons have thousands of excitatory synapses. It is a mystery how neurons integrate the input from so many synapses and what kind of large-scale network behavior this enables.

Bioenergetic status modulates motor neuron vulnerability and pathogenesis in a zebrafish model of spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]
, 2017 Degeneration and loss of lower motor neurons is the major pathological hallmark of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), resulting from low levels of ubiquitously-expressed survival motor neuron (SMN) protein.
