After development of diffusion tensor tractography (DTT), which is derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), three-dimensional reconstruction and estimation for three motor tracts, such as the ...

It was previously reported a role for Ryk in mediating Wnt5a repulsion of the corticospinal tract (CST) in mice. Recent evidence has shown that Ryk regulates planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling ...

Background Recent evidence has suggested that corticospinal excitability alterations are present in the surrounding ankle musculature in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI). However, ...

Researchers report that the deletion of the PTEN gene would enhance compensatory sprouting of uninjured CST axons. Furthermore, the deletion up-regulated the activity of another gene, the mammalian ...

Background Previous studies have suggested that hamstring strain injury leads to activation and strength deficits in hamstring muscles. However, the effects of previous hamstring strain injury on the ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In the adult central nervous system (CNS) of higher vertebrates lesioned axons seemed unable to regenerate and reach their former target ...

A team of scientists, with the first author from the HSE University, were investigating which factors are the most important for the upper limb motor recovery after a stroke. The study is published in ...

It is known that the reason why it takes some time from the start of strength training to the enlargement of muscles is that 'the body has become muscular.' Researchers at the University of Newcastle ...

Team deleted a cell growth inhibitor PTEN to control the mTOR pathway. A group of researchers report that they have induced the regeneration of nerve connections that control voluntary movement after ...

A preclinical study with mice has shown that Gabapentin, a drug that is commonly used in nerve pain could be useful for patients with spinal cord injury. Use of the drug showed improvement in upper ...
