In diabetes, much attention goes to sugar control, insulin levels, and the threat of nerve damage. But a new study reveals ...

"Quantitative Estimation of Nerve Fiber Engagement by Vagus Nerve Stimulation Using Physiological Markers." Brain Stimulation (First available online: September 18, 2020) DOI: 10.1016/j.brs.2020. ...

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder and is one of the leading chronic diseases worldwide. It is widely known ...

To rapidly transmit electrical signals in the brain, the long nerve fibers are insulated by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells also respond to the electrical signals of active ...

Unique 3D-images reveal the architecture of nerve fibers Date: May 6, 2020 Source: Lund University Summary: Researchers have used synchrotron light to study what happens to the nerves in diabetes.

The lack of change of the nerve conduction velocity would indicate that the axonal injury has not affected the faster (most militated) fibers contained in the nerve bundle. Selective injury of ...

A compound appears to protect nerve fibers and the fatty sheath, called myelin, that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The new research in a mouse model advances earlier work to ...

Missing potassium channels lead to nerve fiber damage. The researchers also identified a specific potassium channel, called Kir4.1, as a key player in the communication between nerve fibers and ...

The study found over 10,000 nerve fibers, which is 20% more than previously thought. Dr. Blair Peters is the author of the study, and an assistant professor of plastic surgery and urology at OHSU.

Nerve fiber pathways Nerve fiber tracts in three brain regions, color-coded. The scattering polarimeter combines the measured fiber directions of ComSLI and 3D-PLI (right), ...

Kevin Tracey is a pioneer of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) research. Since the early 2000s, his team at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research has been rigorously investigating VNS ...
