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 ...

Regular activity not only strengthens muscles but can bolster our bones, blood vessels, and immune system. MIT engineers have now found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual ...

A small molecule previously shown to enhance strength in injured or old laboratory mice does so by restoring lost connections between nerves and muscle fibers, Stanford Medicine researchers have found ...

If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk more ...

Exercise can have benefits at the level of neurons, through chemical and mechanical effects, researchers find. The discovery could inform exercise-related therapies for repairing damaged and ...
