Motor learning mechanisms at #SfN25
Due to political developments, the US have become a much less welcoming and hence dramatically less attractive place for academic conferences. This year, nobody from our research group was interested in attending our otherwise regular meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN). Thus, it will be only me who will attend and present our only poster: On this poster, we describe how we discovered that an important site of plasticity in motor learning are motor neurons. The type of motor […]https://bjoern.brembs.net/2025/11/motor-learning-mechanisms-at-sfn25/

Features That May Make Motor Neurons Vulnerable to ALS
Motor neurons are distinguished by a set of genes that may enable the large size of the motor neuron cell body and lengthy axon, but also underlie their vulnerability to degeneration. Their molecular profile was defined by genes involved in cytoskeletal structure, which gives the cell shape and organizes the structures within; neurofilament genes related to cell size; and genes linked to the onset of ALS.
