47 results about "Motor nerve" patented technology

A motor nerve is a nerve located in the central nervous system (CNS), usually the spinal cord, that sends motor signals from the CNS to the muscles of the body. This is different from the motor neuron, which includes a cell body and branching of dendrites, while the nerve is made up of a bundle of axons. Motor nerves act as efferent nerves which carry information out from the CNS, as opposed to afferent nerves (also called sensory nerves), which send signals from sensory receptors in the periphery to the CNS. There are also nerves that serve as both sensory and motor nerves called mixed nerves.

Application of MCU in treatment of addictive diseases

PendingCN120168636ACompound screeningApoptosis detectionMitoxantroneDopamine systems
The invention provides an application of MCU (Microprogrammed Control Unit) in treating addictive diseases. By means of a conditional knockout dopamine system mouse model, it is observed that motonous nerve excitability caused by heroin, morphine and methamphetamine is remarkably reduced due to deficiency of MCU. In addition, behavioral experiments further prove that the MCU knockout significantly reduces the addiction desire of mice to heroin and methamphetamine. By applying MCU inhibitors, namely mitoxantrone (MTX) and Ru265, the inhibitors are found to be capable of remarkably inhibiting motor nerve excitability caused by heroin and reducing addiction and relapse behaviors of mice on heroin. Mechanism research reveals that MCU knockout inhibits dopamine release caused by opioids and methamphetamine in a nucleus septum (NAc) area, and it is indicated that MCU may serve as an effective target for treating addiction of multiple drugs. The invention provides a brand-new treatment strategy for inhibiting MCU as a clinical treatment for opioid (morphine) or drug (heroin) and methamphetamine addiction for the first time.
