The formation and maintenance of neuromuscular junctions are activity-dependent processes. This means that, without regular stimulation, grafted motor neurons may survive but are unlikely to form ...

Incomplete spinal cord injuries disrupt motor unit coordination. The nervous system struggles to sync muscles at low effort and overcompensates with rigid signals at high effort.

MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...

In an aging society, one of the most important and urgent tasks of scientific research is to counteract the decline in motor function and muscle weakness that accompanies the aging process. A research ...
