Small fiber neuropathy is a type of peripheral neuropathy that affects the small nerve fibers in the skin. This condition usually causes an unpleasant tingling sensation or burning pain in the feet.

Surgical transplantation of a peripheral nerve to help nerve fiber growth from the spinal cord has shown limited success in humans. "The addition of a new treatment to enhance our current surgical ...

Feinstein Institutes Research Finds New Vagus Nerve Stimulation Method Targets Specific Fibers, Shows Promise for Improving Therapeutic Efficacy Share The study was led by Dr. Stavros Zanos.

Their findings are published in the journal Nature Communications.. At the center of this discovery is the arcuate fascicle (AF)—a bundle of nerve fibers linking language areas in the brain.

When you’re developing in the womb, your optic nerve contains about 3.7 million nerve fibers. That number drops to 1.1 million by birth through the controlled destruction of unneeded cells.

To rapidly transmit electrical signals in the brain, the long nerve fibers are insulated by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells also respond to the electrical signals of active ...

New research from Oregon Health & Science University found over 10,000 nerve fibers in the marble-sized human clitoris, the organ responsible for sexual pleasure in female bodies. Previous ...

Dr. Blair Peters is the first researcher to quantify nerve fibers in the human clitoris. He found an average of 10,280 nerve fibers across 7 clitorises. Commonly-cited research on cows found 8,000 ...

MANHASSET, N.Y., May 15, 2025--Researchers at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have developed a groundbreaking new method for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) that offers unprecedented ...
