Exercise can have benefits at the level of neurons, through chemical and mechanical effects, MIT researchers find. The discovery could inform exercise-related therapies for repairing damaged and ...

Researchers found that exercise promotes neuron growth through both biochemical signals (myokines) and physical stretching.

MIT researchers reveal how exercise stimulates neuron growth via biochemical and mechanical effects of muscle activity.

Scientists are working on a way to restore the production of a protein that is essential for communication in the brain and ...

As the team further acknowledged in their newly released paper, while such results indicate a potential role for muscle contraction in mediating motor neuron growth, “the difficulty of deconvolving ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common form of MND and there is currently no cure for the condition which ...

Motor neurone disease is a rare condition of the nervous system that leads to loss of muscle control. The disease leads to progressive weakness, muscle wastage and eventually disability.

the team plans to investigate how targeted muscle stimulation might be used to heal damaged nerves. MIT scientists find that ...

New research from King's College London has revealed a connection between ancient viral DNA embedded in the human genome and the genetic risk for two major diseases that affect the central nervous ...
