In rats, the spinal cord contains proerectile autonomic motoneurons destined to the penile tissue and its vasculature, and somatic motoneurons destined to the perineal striated muscles. It receives ...

In one of the very early examples of activity dependent gene expression, we showed that stimulation of the cervical sympathetic trunk led to an increase in the activity of protein level, and mRNA ...

Researchers have found new evidence that the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, two important areas in the central nervous system, are linked together to form an integrated functional network.

Motor neurons play a vital role in movement, linking the central nervous system with different muscles in the body. As such, scientists are very interested in understanding the biological mechanisms ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement-they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers at the University of ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.
