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 ...

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

MRI scans show that repetitive blows to the head result in brain changes among youth football players, according to a new study.

The vagus nerve is a vine of nerve fibers with roots in nearly every organ and shoots in the brain. It helps us detect a racing heart, rising blood pressure, stomachache, discomfort, an ...

Motor nerve fibers that control muscle movements Sensory nerve fibers that carry sensory information to the brain Parasympathetic fibers that control organs and functions not under voluntary ...

In their research, Peters and their colleagues examined the two dorsal nerves of the clitoris, which are dense bundles of nerve fibers that relay sensory signals from the clitoris to the brain.

Nerve impulses have to be at the heart of consciousness, inasmuch as impulses contain the brain’s representation of information and create the synaptic field potentials.

Brain function depends on the swift movement of electrical signals along axons, the long extensions of nerve cells that connect billions of brain cells. The nerve fibers are insulated by a fatty ...
