In a recent article published in Nature Materials, researchers reported a conductance-based organic electrochemical neuron (c-OECN) that mimicked biological signaling in neurons, especially activation ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – October 29, 2025) Motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), share physical similarities but have been largely viewed ...

If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk more ...

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

The test was developed by researchers at the US-based not-for-profit Brain Chemistry Labs, who analysed 788 blood samples – roughly half from patients with the disease and half from people without it.

The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neuron disease, for 55 years. He was one of the longest-surviving people with the condition.
