Lightning and electric shocks may increase risk of motor neurone disease
Some cases of motor neurone disease may be sparked by an electric shock or lightning, suggests research in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry. Motor neurone disease is a progressive degenerative disorder, which eventually results in paralysis of muscles in the body. At present, there is no cure for the disease, and what causes... view more... (2001-07-18)
Mouse model of Parkinson's reproduces nonmotor symptoms
The classic symptoms of Parkinson's disease involve tremor, stiffness and slow movements. Over the last decade, neurologists have been paying greater attention to non-motor symptoms, such as digestive and sleep problems, loss of sense of smell and depression. view more (2009-06-23)
UCLA researchers discover how drug binds to neurons to stop drunken symptoms of alcohol
UCLA researchers discovered how an experimental drug, called Ro15-4513, binds to specific receptors on brain neurons, which helps explain how this drug stops the drunken behavioral symptoms of alcohol such as impaired motor coordination, memory loss and drowsiness. view more (2006-05-09)
Fibromyalgia pain caused by neuron mismatch, suggests study
The unexplained pain experienced by patients with fibromyalgia is the result of a mismatch between sensory and motor systems, new research suggests. view more (2007-10-31)
Learned motor programs directly influence the visual perception of movements
When novel movements are learned-for example, in sports-visual and motor learning take place simultaneously. view more (2006-01-10)
Cell Therapy for Parkinson's Disease
According to research work at the University Hospital, cell therapy could improve many of the motor deficits of patients with Parkinson's Disease. view more (2004-05-03)
Study Finds ADHD Affects Motor Skills of Boys More Than Girls
New research published in the November 4, 2008 issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, found that ADHD affects the motor skills of boys more than girls. view more (2008-11-05)
Fine motor skills, social acceptance lower in children with 'lazy eye'
A recent study evaluating the fine motor skills and perceived self esteem of children with amblyopia (or "lazy eye") compared with age-matched children will be presented during the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2007 Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. view more (2007-05-09)
Cell therapy slows progression of an inherited neurological disease; Improves motor skills in mice
In an important discovery, scientists have demonstrated that the progression of a type of genetic brain disease is slowed and symptoms are improved in mice that received cell transplants. view more (2006-03-23)
Treating sleep disorders would reduce risk of serious motor vehicle crashes
Sleep related accidents comprise 15-20% of all motor vehicle crashes, resulting in thousands of serious injuries and death. Yet a study published in Thorax confirms that treatment of patients with sleep apnoea would reduce their risk of serious motor vehicle crashes to a rate similar to the general driving population. Over 200 patients with... view more... (2001-06-14)
Study suggests loss of 2 types of neurons -- not just 1 -- triggers Parkinson's symptoms
New evidence indicates that the loss of two types of brain cells--not just one as previously thought--may trigger the onset of symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. view more (2007-08-14)
Early Promise For Stroke Patients Given
A preliminary study published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET suggests that the neurotransmitter precursor levodopa used in combination with physiotherapy could improve motor recovery for patients after stroke. Hemiplegia (paralysis to one side of the body) causes functional disability after stroke. Physiotherapy used to be the only way... view more... (2001-09-05)
Drug improves tremors, involuntary movements in Parkinson patients
A drug used to treat epilepsy has been found to significantly improve tremors, motor fluctuations, and other involuntary movements, or dyskinesias, in patients with Parkinson disease. view more (2007-01-03)
Depression often untreated in Parkinson's disease patients
While depression appears to be common in early Parkinson's disease (PD), it is often not treated or diagnosed, according to newly released research. view more (2007-07-10)
Standing up to paraplegia with gene therapy
Elena Rugarli and colleagues from the National Neurological Institute in Milan have used gene therapy to save sensory and skeletal muscle nerve fibers from degeneration in mice with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). view more (2005-12-16)
A new mouse model provides insight into genetic neurological disorders
Neurosensory diseases are difficult to model in mice because their symptoms are complex and diverse. The genetic causes identified are often lethal when transferred to a mouse. view more (2009-05-26)
Marine snail's neural network sheds light on the basis for flexible behavior
By studying how a relatively simple motor network of the marine snail Aplysia produces variants of a particular feeding behavior, researchers have found that the ability to generate a large number of behavioral variants stems from the elegant hierarchical architecture of the brain's motor network. view more (2005-10-11)
Drug blocks lethal motor-neuron disease in mice
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an inherited motor-neuron disease that, in its most severe form, leads to death before 2 years of age and for which there is no treatment. view more (2007-02-23)
Nerves controlling muscles are best repaired with similar nerves
When repairing severed or damaged motor nerves with a donor nerve graft, surgeons have traditionally used a sensory nerve from another area of the patient's body. However, these patients often do not fully regain function in the injured area. view more (2007-05-14)
UCLA stem cells scientists make electrically active motor neurons from iPS cells
Stem cells scientists at UCLA showed for the first time that human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be differentiated into electrically active motor neurons, a discovery that may aid in studying and treating neurological disorders. view more (2009-02-25)
