A recent study aimed to explore how the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is affected in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Of the more than 1,800 people followed in the study, nearly 8% ...

Injured axons instruct Schwann cells to build specialized actin spheres to break down and remove axon fragments, thereby starting the regeneration process. Damaged peripheral nerves can regenerate ...

Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...

Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...

An onboard microprocessor stands in as the central nervous system, by sequentially activating the motors in order to produce an undulating swimming motion. Force sensors located on either side of each ...

Your brain gets all the glory while your other nervous system, the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) toils away in thankless obscurity. What’s the PNS? Oh, merely the neurons that live outside of your ...

Discover the intricate network of specialised cells that make up your nervous system, and how this command center controls everything from thinking to walking. When you purchase through links on our ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons—commonly referred to as “zombie” cells—in the peripheral nervous system.
