Exercise enhances motor skill learning by neurotransmitter switching in the adult midbrain. [PDF]
, 2020 Physical exercise promotes motor skill learning in normal individuals and those with neurological disorders but its mechanism of action is unclear. We find that one week of voluntary wheel running enhances the acquisition of motor skills in normal adult ...

Comparing Offline Decoding Performance in Physiologically Defined Neuronal Classes [PDF]
, 2016 Objective: Recently, several studies have documented the presence of a bimodal distribution of spike waveform widths in primary motor cortex. Although narrow and wide spiking neurons, corresponding to the two modes of the distribution, exhibit different ...

Modulation of motor behavior by the mesencephalic locomotor region
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: The mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) serves as an interface between higher-order motor systems and lower motor neurons. The excitatory module of the MLR is composed of the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) and the cuneiform nucleus (CnF), and ...

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 ...

Longitudinal Optogenetic Motor Mapping Revealed Structural and Functional Impairments and Enhanced Corticorubral Projection after Contusive Spinal Cord Injury in Mice [PDF]
, 2019 Current evaluation of impairment and repair after spinal cord injury (SCI) is largely dependent on behavioral assessment and histological analysis of injured tissue and pathways. Here, we evaluated whether transcranial optogenetic mapping of motor cortex

Heavy metals in locus ceruleus and motor neurons in motor neuron disease [PDF]
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2013 The causes of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS) and other types of motor neuron disease (MND) remain largely unknown. Heavy metals have long been implicated in MND, and it has recently been shown that inorganic mercury selectively enters human locus ceruleus (LC) and motor neurons. We therefore used silver nitrate autometallography (AMG) to

Neuron-Specific HuR-Deficient Mice Spontaneously Develop Motor Neuron Disease [PDF]
, 2018 Human Ag R (HuR) is an RNA binding protein in the ELAVL protein family. To study the neuron-specific function of HuR, we generated inducible, neuron-specific HuR-deficient mice of both sexes.

Recognizing Speech in a Novel Accent: The Motor Theory of Speech Perception Reframed [PDF]
, 2013 The motor theory of speech perception holds that we perceive the speech of another in terms of a motor representation of that speech. However, when we have learned to recognize a foreign accent, it seems plausible that recognition of a word rarely ...

Stem Cells International, 2016 The Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2F (CMT2F) and distal hereditary motor neuropathy 2B (dHMN2B) are caused by autosomal dominantly inherited mutations of the heat shock 27 kDa protein 1 (HSPB1) gene and there are no specific therapies available yet.
