The primary locus of motor neuron death in an ALS-PDC mouse model.

21 Sep 2009 A mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism-dementia complex based on the consumption of cycad seed flour was used to determine whether the observed pathology of motor neuron loss begins in the distal axons or the spinal cord. ... Read more...

Compartmentalization in the triceps brachii motoneuron nucleus and its relation to muscle architecture.

18 Sep 2009 Each fascicle of the triceps brachii (TB) can be independently recruited during movement execution. To investigate the anatomical basis of this selective control and to gain insight into its functional role in adult rats, we carried out a triple ... Read more...

Sexual dimorphism and hormone responsiveness in the spinal cord of the socially monogamous prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster).

8 Sep 2009 Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) are exceptional among rodents in that many aspects of their brain and behavior are not masculinized by exogenous aromatizable androgens. However, the sexually differentiated endpoints studied to date rely on ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Muscle, Skeletal'

Definition: A subtype of striated muscle, attached by TENDONS to the SKELETON. Skeletal muscles are innervated and their movement can be consciously controlled. They are also called voluntary muscles.
