The nervous system is a marvel of biological engineering, composed of intricate networks that control every aspect of an ...

Scientists at the University of Washington and Harvard Medical School, in collaboration with the ESRF, have discovered the neural circuits that coordinate leg and wing movements in the fruit fly ...

Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle movement, but these signals typically pass through spinal interneurons before they reach their destination. How the brain and this highly ...

A team of researchers have created a new resource for studying motor control of wing movements in fruit flies. The study, published recently as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the ...

To help probe the mystery of how brains control movement, scientists have created a virtual rat with an artificial brain that can move around just like a real rodent. The researchers found that ...

Axons in the thalamus (pink) extended toward the cortex, while those in the cortex (green) extended toward the thalamus at 14 days post-fusion. A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

University of Arizona researchers have revealed new insights into the neurobiological cause of the involuntary, uncontrollable movement disorders that develop in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) ...
