Development of a novel in vitro model system to characterize the role of activity in motor neurons during development and disease
(2017-05-11)Neural activity modulates motor axon guidance and synaptic function during development. Differences in neural activity also contribute to the demise of specific motor neuron subtypes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ... -
MOTOR FUNCTION RESTORATION: THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES TO DENERVATION PATHOLOGIES
(2016-04-05)Completely denervated muscles, as seen after motoneuron diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or after peripheral nerve and spinal cord injuries, do not respond to electrical stimulation and are thus not amenable ...
