Toxic gain of function from mutant FUS protein is crucial to trigger cell autonomous motor neuron loss

open access: yesEMBO Journal, 2016
FUS is an RNA‐binding protein involved in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Cytoplasmic FUS‐containing aggregates are often associated with concomitant loss of nuclear FUS.

Inter-spikes-intervals exponential and gamma distributions study of neuron firing rate for SVITE motor control model on FPGA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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

Motor neuron vulnerability and resistance in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica, 2017
In the fatal disease—amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)—upper (corticospinal) motor neurons (MNs) and lower somatic MNs, which innervate voluntary muscles, degenerate.

Occasional essay: upper motor neuron syndrome in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) requires recognition of both lower (LMN) and upper motor neuron (UMN) dysfunction.1 However, classical UMN signs are frequently difficult to identify in ALS.2 LMN involvement is sensitively detected ...

SMN Is Essential for the Biogenesis of U7 Small Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein and 3′-End Formation of Histone mRNAs

open access: yesCell Reports, 2013
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a deficiency in the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. SMN mediates the assembly of spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and possibly other RNPs.

Deficiency of the Survival of Motor Neuron Protein Impairs mRNA Localization and Local Translation in the Growth Cone of Motor Neurons

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2016
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease primarily affecting spinal motor neurons. It is caused by reduced levels of the survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein, which plays an essential role in the biogenesis of spliceosomal small ...

Motor Neurone Disease [PDF]

open access: yesPostgraduate 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 ...

Motor Learning Mechanism on the Neuron Scale

open access: yes, 2014
Based on existing data, we wish to put forward a biological model of motor system on the neuron scale. Then we indicate its implications in statistics and learning.

Lower Motor Neuron Weakness After Diving-Related Decompression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present a case of lower motor neuron upper limb weakness due to infarction of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord following diving. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an isolated lower motor neuron syndrome following diving-related ...
