Researchers have used new imaging techniques to explore the function and structures of the neuro-cutaneous unit, which is the connection between the nervous system and the skin. The results may change ...

Cross-section of nerve fibers from the mouse optic nerve: The dark dense lines show the insulating layer, the myelin. Highlighted in red is a swollen, clogged area of an impaired nerve fiber – caused ...

A new tool to model peripheral nerve stimulation rapidly discovered optimal electrical waveforms (white traces) which, when delivered through the metal contacts of a cuff electrode placed on the vagus ...

Researchers have developed tiny, flexible devices that can wrap around individual nerve fibers without damaging them. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, combined flexible electronics ...

In a new study, neuroscience researchers at The Ohio State University have discovered a special type of human white blood cell that has the potential to regrow nerve fibers. The study findings, ...
