Motor neurons and the generation of spinal motor neurons diversity [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014 Motor neurons (MNs) are neuronal cells located in the central nervous system (CNS) controlling a variety of downstream targets. This function infers the existence of MN subtypes matching the identity of the targets they innervate.

Neurons other than motor neurons in motor neuron disease. [PDF]
Histology and histopathology, 2017 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is typically defined by a loss of motor neurons in the central nervous system. Accordingly, morphological analysis for decades considered motor neurons (in the cortex, brainstem and spinal cord) as the neuronal population selectively involved in ALS.

Spinal muscular atrophy patient iPSC-derived motor neurons have reduced expression of proteins important in neuronal development [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an inherited neuromuscular disease primarily characterized by degeneration of spinal motor neurons, and caused by reduced levels of the SMN protein. Previous studies to understand the proteomic consequences of reduced SMN

Comprehensive Physiology, 2017 ABSTRACT Motor neurons translate synaptic input from widely distributed premotor networks into patterns of action potentials that orchestrate motor unit force and motor behavior. Intercalated between the CNS and muscles, motor neurons add to and adjust the final motor command.

Neuronal Development: Sorting out Motor Neurons [PDF]
Current Biology, 2002 In the developing spinal cord, motor neurons become segregated into important functional units termed motor pools. Now it has been discovered that repertoires of cadherin surface molecules play key roles in motor pool sorting.

Cardiac vagal motor neurons. [PDF]
Curr Opin NeurobiolSince their discovery five decades ago, cardiac vagal motor neurons (CVNs) have been studied for their roles in autonomic control of cardiac function. However, it is only within the past decade that our understanding of CVNs has rapidly progressed. Driven by technological advances in neuroscience, novel findings are revealing genetic markers of CVN's ...

Distinct Corticostriatal GABAergic Neurons Modulate Striatal Output Neurons and Motor Activity
Cell Reports, 2017 Summary: The motor cortico-basal ganglion loop is critical for motor planning, execution, and learning. Balanced excitation and inhibition in this loop is crucial for proper motor output.

Neural basis of a visuo-motor transformation in the fly [PDF]
, 2009 How the outputs of populations of sensory neurons are used by motor systems to generate appropriate behaviour is a long standing question in neuroscience. I address this problem by studying a comparatively simple model system.

Boundary cap cells constrain spinal motor neuron somal migration at motor exit points by a semaphorin-plexin mechanism [PDF]
, 2007 In developing neurons, somal migration and initiation of axon outgrowth often occur simultaneously and are regulated in part by similar classes of molecules. When neurons reach their final destinations, however, somal translocation and axon extension are
