The objective of the study was to determine the mechanism involved in causing the reflex jerking. These also had post-traumatic symptoms. These cells, referred to as neurogenetic progenitor cells, are the origin of the nervous system's innate understanding of trauma and the manner of rehabilitation, the researchers said. This new finding, published in the journal Scientific Reports and led by the neuroscientist Dr Polgara de Sousa, from UJV, provides a very comprehensive picture of the neurologic pathology of humans with no formal neuroimaging parallel to the quick activity seen in individuals with Restless legs syndrome.
