Respiration is a brain function on which our lives essentially depend. Control of respiration
ensures that the frequency and depth of breathing adapt continuously to metabolic needs. In …

The compartmentalization of the cerebellum into modules is often used to discuss its
function. What, exactly, can be considered a module, how do they operate, can they be …

After spinal cord injury, tissue distal to the lesion contains undamaged cells that could
support or augment recovery. Targeting these cells requires a clearer understanding of their …

The abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) is a crucial factor for the onset and
pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), and the autophagy-lysosome pathway (ALP) …

The brain communicates with the spinal cord through numerous axon tracts that arise from
discrete nuclei, transmit distinct functions, and often collateralize to facilitate the coordination …

The notion that the cerebellum is devoted exclusively to motor control has been replaced by
a more sophisticated understanding of its role in neurological function, one that includes …

Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder affecting millions of people. Studies
of ET patients and perturbations in animal models have provided a foundation for the neural …

Feeding cuprizone (CPZ) to mice causes demyelination and reactive gliosis in the central
nervous system (CNS), hallmarks of some neurodegenerative diseases like multiple …

The human spinal cord can be described using a range of nomenclatures with each
providing insight into its structure and function. Here we have comprehensively reviewed the …

Coordinated motor behaviors depend on feedback communication between peripheral
sensory systems and central circuits in the brain and spinal cord. Relay of muscle-and …
