In vertebrates, this signaling happens at the neuromus-cular junction (NMJ), a synaptic connection between motor neurons and muscle fibers. Once stimulated, a neuron will release the neurotransmitter ...

The deterioration of the neuromuscular junction is at the center of Lou Gehrig’s disease. Since the 1980s, the master architect of the neuromuscular junction was thought to be a specific form of ...

The neuromuscular junction - where nerves and muscle fibers meet ... Neurodegenerative Diseases, Neuron, Neurons, Optogenetics, pH, Research, Stem Cells, Synapse, Technology ...

The researchers tested their hypothesis — that glutamate receptor activation modulates the development of the neuromuscular system — in several ways, each of which supported what they thought. In ...

These clinics expose fellows to the comprehensive assessment, monitoring, and treatment of neurological disorders involving peripheral nervous systems, including neuropathy, plexopathy, radiculopathy, ...

In a normal motor neuron, ... the researchers showed that by reversing TDP-43 accumulation in nerves and neuromuscular junction enabled recovery of degenerated neuromuscular junctions ...

The dysfunction of mitochondria in nerve terminals leads to neuromuscular junction disruption and ultimately to the death of the motor neurons. "It’s important first to understand the spatial ...

In patch-clamp experiments, Armstrong found that the agonists returned neuron-muscle communication back to normal. He suspects that opening up the channels leads to greater calcium influx during ...
