Since the MNT is a very specialised site, we consider that calpain may have a different role in comparison with that in cultured neurons or intact spinal cord axons. In some contexts, swelling at the MNT is due to an imbalance in synaptic exo- and endocytosis in which vesicle membranes ...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized by degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord. Nusinersen has been covered by public healthcare in France since May 2017. The aim of this article is to report results after 1 year of trea...
Jolts of sudden pain activate the A-type fibers to send an electrical signal up to the spinal cord3. Pain signals then activate the thalamus, which relays the signal to the different brain regions4. Subsequently, the signal activates the somatosensory cortex which is responsible for physical ...
Twenty-three people with chronic neck pain participated in this double-blinded, randomized crossover study. After baseline assessment at day 1, patients received either neck muscle vibration or placebo neck muscle vibration at day 2. At day 3, patients underwent the other treatment. The primary ou...
“…A big reason Botox and its cousins, such as Myobloc, were OK’d was that preclinical testing showed that after being injected, they did not travel along the body’s highways—nerve cells—to the brain and spinal cord. Yes, there was some evidence the toxin slipped into the bloodstream...
Finally, the system was validated by several experiments comparing both elemental and segmental oscilla- tors with biological data, and comparing the segmental oscilla- tor with ex vivo rat spinal cord stimulated by pharmacological solutions. The short-term prospect of this wor...

13. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the photons are monitored in the spinal cord. 14. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the Ca2+-sensitive polypeptide comprises a signal peptide capable of targeting the polypeptide to a specific cellular domain or compartment. 15. A method...
associative motor and non-motor areas that are critically involved during action inhibition. In addition, it is important to consider that MEPs reflect the excitability of the whole corticospinal tract, including the spinal cord; thus, they cannot be considered an exclusive index of cortical ...
