Fecal microbiota transplantation is linked to improvements in both motor and non-motor outcomes in Parkinson’s disease, at least in the short term, a new meta-analysis shows.

A research collaborative has revealed the changes in the brain that occur to take over motor functions that were lost due to brain lesion. The researchers generated permanent lesions in the cerebral ...

Researchers use hIL-6 protein to restore walking in paralyzed mice by promoting neural circuit plasticity rather than fiber regrowth.

Virtual reality (VR) technology was associated with enhanced balance and limb motor functions in critically ill adult patients compared with traditional rehabilitation techniques, new meta-analysis ...

A research team has revealed that a molecule in the brain -- ophthalmic acid -- unexpectedly acts like a neurotransmitter similar to dopamine in regulating motor function, offering a new therapeutic ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...

Tavapadon significantly improves motor function and activities of daily living in adults with early Parkinson disease compared with placebo.

Here, we report that glycolysis controls astrocyte-synapse contact. In the Drosophila larval dopaminergic (DAergic) circuit, blocking astrocyte glycolysis stimulated perisynaptic ensheathment by ...

Doctors use the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury when determining the classification of injuries. If there is ...
