Differences in human tears in ALS can distinguish bulbar-onset disease from spinal-onset ALS, making this a possible ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare genetic disorder that causes muscle weakness and disability, typically in young ...

Muscle strength could not be tested adequately. The deep tendon reflexes were hyperactive in all extremities, with ankle clonus bilaterally. Superficial abdominal reflexes were present.

This includes motor commands and sensory information. The spinal cord also helps coordinate your reflexes. The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system. It runs down the center of your back ...

Spinal meningitis is the inflammation of tissues, called the meninges, that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It usually stems from an infection, leading to symptoms such as a stiff neck ...

The study, led by Biomedical engineering doctoral student Grace Niyo, sheds light on a possible undiscovered system or circuitry at play within the spinal cord that, when working properly, "modulates" ...

How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? How vertebrates coordinate the eternal tug-o-war between involuntary reflexes and seamless voluntary movements ...

This was to test the stretch reflexes in your spinal cord, which resist muscle stretching to give you muscle tone to hold your body up against gravity for example, fast corrections after tripping. So, ...
