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

Discover the 5 types of fiber-rich foods to include in your daily diet to support digestion, heart health, and long-term ...

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

Sympathetic nerve fibers project from the base of the heart into the myocardium, and are located predominantly in the subepicardium of the ventricle (Figure 1). 13, 14 The central conduction system, ...

Single fiber action potentials (SFAPs) from peripheral nerves, such as recorded with cuff electrodes, can be modelled as the convolution of a source current and a weight function that describes the ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning model is capable of using optic disc photographs of patients with ocular hypertension to predict changes to their retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ...

The site of injection is the crucial factor in determining the degree of nerve fiber injury. The degree of injury varies significantly, depending upon the specific agent injected.

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 ...

Cancer cells steal energy-generating parts from nerve cells to fuel their spread to distant sites, a discovery that could improve treatments against the deadliest tumours.
