A stimulus (the hammer) causes a signal to be sent via a sensory nerve to the spinal cord. From the spinal cord, a response is immediately sent back via a motor nerve, which results in the kick. Many ...

Findings on cephalopod nerve cords highlight segmentation's role in sucker movement control, advancing knowledge of neural architectures in soft-bodied species.

The engineered motor, with redesigned DNA/RNA sequences and a 3.8-fold increase in hybridization rate, achieved a speed of 30 nm/s, 200 processivity, and a 3 μm run-length.

This time, the team cultured another set of motor neurons on a gel ... novel approaches for treating nerve injuries in which the nerve and muscle tissue are no longer communicating properly.
