Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.

Researchers at FORTH have developed a new type of artificial neural network (ANN) that incorporates features of biological ...

In a small human trial in SMA patients neurostimulation sessions improved motoneuron function, reduced fatigue, and improved leg muscle strength and walking.

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an ...

The findings demonstrate that the brain and the immune system collaborate to prepare for future challenges and reveal how they "learn" to activate the immune system based solely on sensory information ...

The connection between the body and the brain has preoccupied philosophers and researchers for thousands of years. A new study at the University of Haifa has now identified a neural circuit that ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial ...
