Researchers report on the first lab-grown motor nerves that are insulated and organized just like they are in the human body. The model system will drastically improve understanding of the causes of ...

Many people with diabetes have damage to the nerves. Cells derived from the bone marrow can both promote the regrowth of blood vessels and prevent the ongoing loss (or death) of the protective lining ...

Electrodes applied to most peripheral nerves can electrically access a large number of axons within the nerve. In many cases, advantage may be taken of the fascicular arrangement of the axons within ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by Anna-Mari Kärkkäinen, Riikka Immonen, Leena Rauhala, Artem Shatillo, and Susanne Bäck. Animal models are critical in improving our ...

High-resolution multilayer X-ray computer tomography and 3.0T superconducting magnetic resonance myelography are known to obtain a more complete and continuous two-dimensional original data.

A deep-learning model trained on optical coherence tomography scans of the optic nerve head reliably distinguished among various types of optic nerve damage, such as glaucoma, non-arteritic anterior ...

Various nerves control bladder and bowel function, including the spinal cord, cauda equina, pudendal nerves, and the enteric nervous system, a nerve network in the walls of the digestive tract. These ...

Your nervous system is involved in everything your body does, from managing your breathing to controlling your muscles and sensing heat and cold. Nerves carry sensations of pain or pleasure from your ...
