COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have solved a longstanding mystery of the central nervous system, showing how a key protein gets to the right spot to launch electrical impulses that enable communication ...

Stanford and Seoul National University researchers have developed an artificial sensory nerve system that can activate the twitch reflex in a cockroach and identify letters in the Braille alphabet.

One of the greatest, relatively underappreciated, discoveries in all of science was the discovery of the nerve impulse in the 1930s by the British Lord Adrian. Adrian did win a Nobel Prize for his ...

Neurophysiology is a discipline within the health sciences that deals with the measurement and assessment of nervous system function, rather than the anatomy of the nervous system. This field helps to ...

It's surprisingly difficult to pinpoint what a given nerve is doing at any given moment. The electrochemical dance of neuronal function never stops, and it's synced to the beat of the default mode ...

Brain cells, or neurons, have multiple means of communication, and their chatter may be influenced by the cells around them, research suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

MICROELECTRODES have been inserted into both pre- and post-junctional elements of certain one-way synapses in the abdominal nerve-cord of the crayfish (Astacus fluviatilis). The pre-synaptic fibres ...

Scientists have solved a longstanding mystery of the central nervous system, showing how a key protein gets to the right spot to launch electrical impulses that enable communication of nerve signals ...

The original nerve impulse findings were that the rate of impulse firing governed the impact on neuronal targets, whether they be muscle or other neurons. Various labs, including my own, in the 1980s, ...

Researchers have developed an artificial nervous system that could give prosthetic limbs or robots reflexes and the ability to sense touch. Stanford and Seoul National University researchers have ...
