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 ...

Contact between a motor neuron and muscle cell is usually via a specialized synapse called a neuromuscular junction. Improved muscle function, strength and fatigue measures were observed after ...

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

In addition to the weekly specialist Neuromuscular and Motor Neuron Disease clinics and regular education sessions offered by the Adult Neuromuscular Team at Southmead Hospital, and as part of the ...

Liver issues, including a buildup of fat in the liver, occur before the onset of neuromuscular disease, per a study in a mouse model of SMA.

Ongoing work explores how failures of motor neuron and neuromuscular junction development lead to disorders of the ocular motor system, including a common misalignment of the eyes called ...
