Scientists have long studied the role of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that helps control learning and movement, in order ...

A research team has revealed that a molecule in the brain -- ophthalmic acid -- unexpectedly acts like a neurotransmitter similar to dopamine in regulating motor function, offering a new therapeutic ...

Among 6- to 15-year-olds with cerebral palsy, gait training with a wearable, untethered exoskeleton robot improved gross motor function, a randomized clinical trial showed. Improvements among the RAGT ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

Singing may provide benefits beyond improving respiratory and swallow control in people with Parkinson's disease, according to new data. The results from the pilot study revealed improvements in mood ...

To better understand the origins of noise, we need to think about how the rotation movement takes place. When a stepper motor performs a step, it does not stop immediately but continues to move ...

Complete, unambiguous, and correct software requirements, including safety or security requirements. Correct and consistent design specifications without extraneous functionality. Compiler-produced ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...
