The failure of this system in ALS may translate into the split hand presentation, gait disturbance, split leg syndrome and bulbar symptomatology related ... to cortical areas as well as to subcortical ...

MRI studies show cerebral and cerebellar atrophy, extensive white mater lesions of the spinal cord, and bilateral T2/FLAIR hyperintensity of the dentate nuclei and surrounding ... cognitive decline ...

Spinal bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) causes a loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brainstem. It mainly affects facial and swallowing muscles and the muscles in the arms and legs.

Register to attend. So how exactly does nuclear fusion work? Simply put, nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive ...

All types of radiation become less intense as they travel further away from the radioactive material. This is because the particles or rays become more spread out. The thicker the substance, the ...

Research in my laboratory concerns identifying the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of axonal transport in health and disease. In particular we are investigating the involvement of ...

However as the number of protons increases, more neutrons are needed to keep the nucleus stable. For example lead, lead-206 has 82 protons and has 124 neutrons.

Figure 2. Location of regions and respiratory pathways involved in the control of breathing. This illustration shows the location of respiratory nuclei in the brainstem from a side and front view, as ...

Abstract: We discuss the different physical processes contributing to the infrared continuum of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), assuming that both photoionization from the active centre and shocks ...

Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a type of inflammatory myopathy. Most patients with IMNM produce anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase or anti-signal-recognition particle ...
