Multimodal Hox5 activity generates motor neuron diversity

Communications Biology
Motor neurons (MNs) are the final output of circuits driving fundamental behaviors, such as respiration and locomotion. Hox proteins are essential in generating the MN diversity required for accomplishing these functions, but the transcriptional ...

Neurochemical assessment of identified phrenic motor neurons via flow cytometry

The FASEB Journal, 2013
Flow cytometry (FCM) utilizes high powered, laser‐based tools to perform multi‐parametric analyses on cell populations. Although FCM is routinely utilized in immunology and cancer biology fields, it is rarely used in the study of neurobiology. Here, we show a novel use of FCM to identify and isolate phrenic motor neurons, a small, but critical pool of ...

Protein 4.1B contributes to the organization of peripheral myelinated axons.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Neurons are characterized by extremely long axons. This exceptional cell shape is likely to depend on multiple factors including interactions between the cytoskeleton and membrane proteins.

Phrenic Motor Neuron Survival Below a Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

The FASEB Journal, 2018
Cervical spinal injury (cSCI) severs descending brainstem projections to spinal respiratory motor neurons, paralyzing respiratory muscles caudal to injury. Spinal hemisection at C2 (C2Hx) has frequently been used as an experimental model of cSCI to study both spontaneous and induced functional recovery of respiratory and non‐respiratory somatic motor ...

Distribution of Ipsilateral and Contralateral Glutamatergic Synaptic Inputs to Phrenic Motor Neurons

The FASEB Journal, 2019
Excitatory descending glutamatergic (Glu) synaptic input to phrenic motor neurons (PhMNs) emanates from the ventrolateral medulla and is responsible for inspiratory drive and a range of higher force behaviors. Disruption of this excitatory input following unilateral C2 hemisection (C2SH) results in cessation of inspiratory‐related diaphragm muscle ...

Phrenic nerve transfer to the musculocutaneous nerve for the repair of brachial plexus injury: electrophysiological characteristics

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
Phrenic nerve transfer is a major dynamic treatment used to repair brachial plexus root avulsion. We analyzed 72 relevant articles on phrenic nerve transfer to repair injured brachial plexus that were indexed by Science Citation Index.

Comparison between cortical and subcortical diaphragmatic motor stimulation by transcranial magnetic stimulation on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation
Background Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive method of electrically stimulating neurons in the cerebral cortex, can change neuronal and cortical activity locally and remotely by applying localized magnetic fields. TMS can be used to

Ultrasonography of the Vagus Nerve for ALS Patients: Correlations with Clinical Data and Dysfunction of the Autonomic Nervous System

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the degeneration of both upper and lower motor neurons, leading to the rapid decline of motor function.
