The brainstem locomotor system is believed to be organized serially from the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) to reticulospinal neurons, which in turn project to locomotor neurons in the spinal ...

Gait disturbance in individuals with spinal cord injury is attributed to the interruption of neural pathways from brain to the spinal locomotor center, whereas neural circuits locate below and above ...

A population of 'stop cells' in the brainstem is essential for the ability of mice to stop their locomotion, according to a new study. Researchers report a brainstem pathway specifically dedicated to ...

Both the dorsal and ventral striatum have been demonstrated to have a critical role in reinforcement learning and addiction. Dissecting the specific function of these striatal compartments and their ...

Evolution, Vol. 64, No. 6 (JUNE 2010), pp. 1569-1582 (14 pages) Body shape has a fundamental impact on organismal function, but it is unknown how functional morphology and locomotor performance and ...

image: In Drosophila, octopamine signaling increases larval locomotor speed and synaptic bouton numbers at neuromuscular junctions under food deprivation conditions. We found that a glypican ...

Researchers led by Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) identify a drug that mimics the effects of exercise on muscle and bone in mice Tokyo, Japan – Maintaining a regular workout routine can ...
