A team has made a major breakthrough in the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale biological tissues. They ...

This is in part because nerves in the brain and spinal cord, unlike those in the rest of the body, fail to grow new nerve fibers. Nerves in the brain and spinal cord are surrounded by signals from ...

When these nerves are genetically manipulated to respond to light, the fibers can send pulses of light to the nerves to inhibit pain. The optical fibers are flexible and stretch with the body.

Small fiber neuropathy occurs as a result of damage to the small fibers of the peripheral nervous system, which can lead to pain and other symptoms. Read more here.

Small fiber sensory neuropathy is a neuromuscular disorder that can be caused by various conditions. It can also occur on its own. Main symptoms are numbing of the skin’s ability to feel ...

The sampled dorsal nerves contained between 4,926 and 5,543 nerve fibers each, or an average of 5,140 fibers. With two dorsal nerves per clitoris, that translates to about 10,280 nerve fibers that ...

Small fiber neuropathy occurs when the small fibers of the peripheral nervous system are damaged. Small fibers in the skin relay sensory information about pain and temperature. In the organs ...

New soft, implantable fibers can deliver light to major nerves through the body. Developed at MIT, they are an experimental tool for scientists to explore the causes and potential treatments for ...
