When AHR is turned off, neurons shift priorities. They increase protein production and activate pathways that support axon growth. The team also found that this regenerative response depends on ...

John Famechon, the former World Featherweight Champion, commenced his intricate brain-based multi-movement therapy in December 1993 after suffering a debilitating brain injury in August 1991. Some ...

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a specialized protein, also called a neurotrophin, that is critical for the development and ...

Effective axon regeneration is critical for restoring nerve function in patients with axon injury-related neurological diseases, yet adult mammals show limited regenerative capacity in central axonal ...

MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...

Researchers have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal on its own, according to a new study. The findings hold ...

Sitting is the new smoking. Well, not really -- but almost. The invisible threat of prolonged sitting is quietly undermining your health and longevity. Not exercising, or being sedentary, can ...
