The nerve that enables the human clitoris to detect pleasurable touch contains thousands more nerve fibers than once estimated — about 10,000, rather than 8,000.

Cross-section of nerve fibers from the mouse optic nerve: The dark dense lines show the insulating layer, the myelin. Highlighted in red is a swollen, clogged area of an impaired nerve fiber ...

An example of PNS myelinated nerve fiber is shown. (B) Illustration of transverse section of myelinated axon at the internode. (C) Light microscopy of a mouse sciatic nerve at lower magnification.

Several molecules in the spinal cord are known to stop nerve fibers from growing. Schnaar refers to these molecules as axon regeneration inhibitors, or simply ARIs.

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.

Kevin Tracey is a pioneer of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) research. Since the early 2000s, his team at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research has been rigorously investigating VNS ...
