Nerves are bundles of nerve fibers that act as communication lines of our system, transmitting signals between the brain and ...

In order to understand the structure and functioning of the brain, neuroscientists need to study the complex, three-dimensional pathways and connections of nerve fibers. The intersection of multiple ...

This is because they connect directly with brain tissue without intermediate nerve fibers. Now we will look at some of the parts of the CNS in more detail, starting with the brain.

Accidents or health conditions that can injure parts of the nervous system include: Brain, spine, or nerve trauma, due to things such as a car accident, sports injury, fall, stroke, or gunshot ...

The vagus nerve is a vine of nerve fibers with roots in nearly every organ and shoots in the brain. It helps us detect a racing heart, rising blood pressure, stomachache, discomfort, an ...

Stimulating your vagus nerve could help you live longer. A top scientist shares 3 easy things he does to activate his.

The clitoris is innervated by the dorsal nerve, which travels on top of the clitoral shaft and runs down either side of the cruca. Nerves are bundles of fibers called axons, which carry the ...

Injury or disease can damage the nerve fibers, disrupting the pain signals the nerves send to and receive from other parts of the body.

New research from OHSU looked at human tissue to try to understand how many nerve fibers are contained in the clitoris. It seems to be the first time that this has ever been studied (a previous ...

Nerve fibers also form scar tissue in areas of myelin damage. This tissue is stiff and hard and blocks or obstructs the flow of messages between nerves and muscles.
