The ComSLI method uses simple tools to generate detailed images of brain nerve fibers and damage in neurological diseases, ...

In order to understand brain diseases, neuroscientists try to untangle the intricate nerve fibre labyrinth of our brain. Before analysing brain tissue under a microscope, it is often soaked in ...

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 ...

A new study published in the journal Brain Stimulation shows that high electrical frequency stimulation can activate specific nerve fibers in the body MANHASSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electrically ...

The adult mammalian body has an incredible ability to heal itself in response to injury. Yet, injuries to the spinal cord lead to devastating conditions, since severed nerve fibers fail to regenerate ...

The effect of previous activity on the responses to single, subsequent maximal stimuli has been studied in vivo in a number of mammalian nerves containing C fibres. The recorded monophasic action ...

“Neurological disabilities” is an umbrella term to describe a wide range of nervous system disorders. Disorders can occur before birth or after as a result of various factors including head trauma, ...

Chemotherapy activates a stress sensor in immune cells, triggering inflammation and nerve damage, which may help explain why ...
