| It is made up from millions of nerve cells called neurones that control your body's functions, senses and thoughts. |
|
| There is gradual loss of the lower motor neurones, so the muscles become steadily weaker and smaller. |
|
| It attacks motor neurones in the spinal cord and lower brain, which transmit signals from the brain to the voluntary muscles throughout the body. |
|
| The two neurones alternate in activity, like the steady tick-tock of a clock. |
|
| The sleep cycle is controlled by a complex system of neurones in the brain stem, thalamus, hypothalamus, and basal forebrain. |
|
| You would learn to use a walking frame with the same neurones with which 80 or so years ago you learned to walk. |
|
| The toxin also inhibits release of acetylcholine in all parasympathetic and cholinergic postganglionic sympathetic neurones. |
|
| Stem cells could be used to introduce healthy, dopamine producing neurones in the brain of a patient with Parkinson's disease. |
|
| Composed of neurones and nerve fibres, the nervous system is part of the physical body. |
|
| Motor neurone disease is the name given to a group of related diseases affecting the motor neurones in the brain and spinal cord. |
|
| Botulinum toxin induces weakness of striated muscles by inhibiting transmission of alpha motor neurones at the neuromuscular junction. |
|
| These are cells which can be the raw material for all sorts of organs and tissues, from the pancreas to nerve cells, or neurones in the brain, to heart cells. |
|
| During transduction, potassium floods into the hair cell, depolarising the cell and triggering an action potential in the associated cochlear neurones. |
|
| The exact mechanism of action is not known, but activation of the spinal interneurones or adrenergic neurones, which inhibit bladder activity, has been postulated. |
|
| Neural signals that regulate GnRH neurones directly during the oestrous cycle. |
|
| Induction and maintenance of late-phase long-term potentiation in isolated dendrites of rat hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurones. |
|
| Effect of menthol on two types of Ca currents in cultured sensory neurones of vertebrates. |
|
| The neuropathy is characterised by a progressive paralysis accompanied by amyotrophy, as a result of damage to motor neurones in the spinal cord and brain. |
|
| Selective vulnerability of hippocampal CA3 neurones after microinfusion of paraquat into the rat substantia nigra or into the ventral tegmental area. |
