Mouse study uncovers how transcription factors HIF1α and HIF2α regulate different aspects

Skeletal muscles—responsible for movement, joint stabilization and postural support—are highly metabolically active and heavily reliant on oxygen during physical activity. However, conditions such as high-intensity exercise or sustained exertion frequently expose skeletal muscles

Contact-free sensors could help track movement symptoms in Parkinson's disease

Disease progression in people with Parkinson's disease can be accurately monitored using sensors, removing some of the limitations of wearable technologies, a new study reports. In the study published in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, scientists from the UK D

Microglia mechanism reveals why brain's stroke repair window closes

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide and often results in impairments in movement, speech and cognition. While rehabilitation helps patients regain some lost functions, the brain's natural ability to repair itself often fades within a few months a

How fatigue shapes World Cup interceptions

An interception can last less than a second. A defender reads a pass, steps into its path and reaches the ball before its intended recipient. Yet that brief movement requires the brain to judge speed, distance and direction while the body accelerates, changes course and maintains

Brain-computer training sharpens detection of tiny movement errors in five days

The brain uses visual cues to coordinate muscle movement. When motor commands and sensory feedback are out of alignment, visuo-motor errors occur. Rapid perception of these errors allows for correction, which is important in many aspects of life—from preventing falls among older
