Neuromuscular diseases are conditions that affect your nerve and muscle function. Neuromuscular disorders affect your peripheral nerves—the nerves outside your brain and spinal cord. Types of ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

Neurological diseases affect the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves that carry signals throughout your body. These conditions can disrupt movement, thinking, mood, ...

Many people ignore early back and neck pain until it worsens into serious spine disorders, experts warn. Conditions like disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease often begin ...

Most of the nerves in your body are covered with a protective layer called myelin. It’s a lot like the insulation on electric wires. It helps messages from your brain move quickly and smoothly through ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Dr. Stuart Himmelstein, DC, a Philadelphia-based chiropractor, examines how peripheral neuropathy is evaluated in ...

Autoimmune neurological diseases are conditions where the immune system attacks nerve cells. Damage to neuronal cells can lead to a variety of neurologic and psychiatric symptoms. Autoimmune diseases ...
