Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new insights into how neurofilaments act like Velcro in neurodegenerative ...

A nerve consists of a bundle of nerve fibers. Nerves transmit messages between the brainand spinal cord and the rest of the body. Schwannomas are most often noncancerous nerve tumors, while ...

Most cochlear nerves carry information from the cochlea to the brain, but about 5% send signals in the opposite direction: from the brain to the cochlea. The exact role of those fibers has been a ...

While many people don’t get enough fiber, you could actually get too much, especially if you increase your intake too quickly. See a doctor if you’re experiencing nausea, vomiting, a high ...

Scientists in China say they have developed an optical fibre technology that could pave the way for real-time endoscopies of nerve cells in the brain, as well as faster next-gen telecommunications.

However, only the nerve fibers project into the tumor, while the nuclei of the nerve cells lie far outside, in the ganglia, the control centers of the peripheral nervous system. Therefore ...

Although the vagus nerve is an extremely important nerve, it is just another part of a truly complex and global system. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop solutions that allow ...

at Columbia University indicated that surviving motor neurons receive fewer stimulation inputs from sensory nerves—fibers that return the information from skin and muscles back to the central ...

Each MN residing in the spinal cord can synapse with multiple muscle fibers at the periphery. The MN and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates through its axonal terminals constitute the motor ...
