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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A: The brain sends/receives electric signals that control/sense different muscles and body functions/sensory signals. These electrical signals travel either directly from the brain to the signal ...

Researchers have used synchrotron light to study what happens to the nerves in diabetes. The technique shows the 3D-structure of nerve fibers in very high resolution. In an international collaboration ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
