Translating the behavioural output of the nervous system into movement involves interaction between brain and spinal cord. The brainstem provides an essential bridge between the two structures, but ...

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

Forelimb posture in sauropod dinosaurs is still poorly understood. Although a laterally directed (semisupinated) manus is the plesiomorphic condition in sauropodomorphs, the sauropod track record ...

At the start of their research, paleobiologists Christine Janis and Borja Figueirido simply wanted to determine the hunting style of an extinct marsupial called Thylacine (also known as the "marsupial ...

In their quest to understand what kind of hunter the extinct marsupial Thylacine was, two paleobiologists built a dataset of forelimb bone measurements that predict the predation style of a wide ...

Researchers report the evolutionary origins of morphological diversity in mammal forelimbs. Mammals exhibit diverse forelimb structures that reflect a range of ecological, behavioral, and locomotor ...

Using a highly-detailed musculoskeletal model of an echidna forelimb, scientists are not only shedding new light on how the little-studied echidna's forelimb works, but are also opening a window into ...

IT MIGHT look like an amputated rat forelimb, but the photo above is of something much more exciting: the limb has been grown in the lab from living cells. It may go down in history as the first ...

"What is the relationship between conformation and performance, and what can we do to impact it?" These questions have been asked by those focused on performance in many species, and they were the ...

The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority announced April 21 the release of a new Equine Health Advisory identifying key risk factors associated with fatal proximal forelimb fractures in ...

Successful recovery from forelimb lameness is about more than just the right clinical diagnosis. It often comes down to what happens once the patient leaves the exam room. In this ...
