The ALS-inducing factors, TDP43A315T and SOD1G93A, directly affect and sensitize sensory neurons to stress. Scientific Reports, 2018; 8 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-34510-8 ...

A cell biology study adds evidence that sensory neurons, not just motoneurons, take a direct hit in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Scientists led by Gregorio Valdez, Virginia Tech Carilion ...

A subset of patients of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) present with mutation of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), and such mutants caused an ALS-like disorder when expressed in rodents ...

In practice, motor neurons and sensory neurons work together. Sensory neurons constantly relay information, directly and indirectly, to motor neurons. This information could be about temperature, ...

Charlotte County Fire & EMS introduces sensory assistance bags to aid patients with autism during emergencies.

The discovery in today's (Thursday, Nov. 8) Scientific Reports indicates that studying sensory neurons could provide new mechanistic insights to prevent, slow, or even reverse ALS.

A person with the first kind, sensory modulation disorder, struggles to respond appropriately to sensory messages. Many have a heightened response, although researchers have identified that some ...

ALS has no cure, and most individuals with the disease die within three to five years from when symptoms first appear, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
