Researchers at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have developed a groundbreaking new method for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) that offers unprece ...

Small fiber neuropathy or small fiber sensory neuropathy affects the sensory nerves. It also affects the sweat glands, gastrointestinal system, blood vessels, and heart.

To rapidly transmit electrical signals in the brain, the long nerve fibers are insulated by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells also respond to the electrical signals of active ...

Researchers have used new imaging techniques to explore the function and structures of the neuro-cutaneous unit – the connection between the nervous system and the skin.

Scientists at Harvard Medical School have shown for the first time that the common skin bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, can cause itching by acting directly on nerve cells. The new findings ...

Gender-affirming surgeon and nerve researcher Blair Peters is the first person to quantify the number of nerve fibers in the human clitoris.

A new study on the clitoris found that the organ has 10,000 nerve fibers. (Photo: Getty) According to the new research, that number is a whopping 10,281. By comparison, the palm of one’s hand ...

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.

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 ...
