In brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and other neural implant systems, electrodes serve as the critical interface and are core ...

New soft, implantable fibers can deliver light to major nerves through the body. They are an experimental tool for scientists to explore the causes and potential treatments for peripheral nerve ...

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a technique using spun-sugar filaments to create a scaffold of tiny synthetic tubes that might serve as conduits to regenerate nerves severed in ...

All current local anesthetics block sensory signals—pain—but they also interrupt motor signals, which can be problematic. For ...

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 ...

The clitoris contains thousands more touch-detecting nerve fibers than once thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The nerve ...

From the vantage point of today ― a time when neurosurgeons regularly resect brain tissue to cure disease and rely on high-tech neuroimaging techniques to make diagnoses ― it's hard to conceive of an ...

Small fiber sensory neuropathy is a neuromuscular disorder that affects millions of people. It can be caused by various conditions, such as diabetes or prediabetes. It can also occur on its own. Main ...
