The agrin gene codes for a family of basal lamina proteins that differ in function and distribution [PDF]
We isolated two cDNAs that encode isoforms of agrin, the basal lamina protein that mediates the motor neuron-induced aggregation of acetylcholine receptors on muscle fibers at the neuromuscular junction.

Comparative interactomics analysis of different ALS-associated proteins identifies converging molecular pathways [PDF]
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurological disease with no effective treatment available. An increasing number of genetic causes of ALS are being identified, but how these genetic defects lead to motor neuron degeneration and ...

MicroRNA profiling reveals marker of motor neuron disease in ALS models [PDF]
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by the loss of motor neurons (MNs) in the brain and spinal cord, leading to fatally debilitating weakness.

Ca2+-activated K+ channels modulate microglia affecting motor neuron survivalin hSOD1G93A mice [PDF]
Recent studies described a critical role for microglia in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), where these CNS-resident immune cells participate in the establishment of an inflammatory microenvironment that contributes to motor neuron degeneration ...

Prefrontal involvement in imitation learning of hand actions : effects of practice and expertise. [PDF]
In this event-related fMRI study, we demonstrate the effects of a single session of practising configural hand actions (guitar chords) on cortical activations during observation, motor preparation, and imitative execution.

Inter-spikes-intervals exponential and gamma distributions study of neuron firing rate for SVITE motor control model on FPGA [PDF]
This paper presents a statistical study on a neuro-inspired spike-based implementation of the Vector-Integration-To-End-Point motor controller (SVITE) and compares its deterministic neuron-model stream of spikes with a proposed modification that converts
