Every function of the vertebrate nervous system depends on the coordination of activity across neural populations. This issue of neuronal coordination is especially clear in the neural production of ...

Abnormal connections between neurons are the likely cause of motor coordination issues seen in autism spectrum disorder. Using a mouse model of autism, scientists identified a malfunctioning neural ...

Reaching for and grasping objects brings about changes in the connections of a certain neuronal population in the red nucleus, a region of the midbrain, now reported by researchers at the University ...

Children who spend more than three-quarters of their time engaging in sedentary behavior, such as watching TV and sitting at computers, have up to nine times poorer motor coordination than their more ...

Developmental coordination disorder, sometimes referred to as motor clumsiness or developmental dyspraxia, is a movement condition that manifests during child development and is marked by difficulty ...

Transitions of tonic inhibition in cerebellar granule cells during adolescence. Astrocyte-released GABA (green) increases, spillover GABA (red) from inhibitory neurons (Golgi cells) decreases, while ...

Developmental coordination disorder is a common neuromotor condition, affecting about 5%–6% of school-aged children;1 this equates to more than 400 000 Canadian children.2 Despite its prevalence, ...

Smoking pot may impair your coordination and other motor skills, even when you're not high, a new review of studies finds. In the review, researchers found that people who used marijuana had ...

One of the biggest challenges for children with dyspraxia is not just physical coordination, but the emotional burden that ...

University of Basel, has investigated the red nucleus, a region of the midbrain that controls fine motor movement, and identified a new population of nerve cells which changes when fine motor ...
