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 ...

Stimuli are changes in our environment that we respond to and are detected by receptors. Different receptors are sensitive to different stimuli (eg receptors in the eye are sensitive to light). A ...

Researchers have uncovered clues identifying which proteins are involved in the development of the nervous system and found that the proteins previously thought to play a significant role, in fact, do ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send ...

AT the Friday evening discourse held at the Royal Institution on February 10, Prof. A. V. Hill discussed the physical nature of the nerve impulse. The properties of the nervous system are based upon a ...

Using computer models and experiments, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have identified the neurons and connections that are necessary for crayfish to swim. "We can now pin down the ...

We repeat what feels familiar, not what feels good. Healing begins when we help the nervous system relearn what safety actually feels like.

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 ...
