We’ve all had a moment when we cursed at our teeth nerves for being so damn sensitive and painful. But if you’ve ever bitten ...

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

In everyday parlance, the vagus nerve is typically referred to as a singular entity; however, within different branches of the vagus nerve, there are specialized fibers (e.g., "A," "B," and "C ...

Gut fungal communities may impact multiple sclerosis severity, offering new insights into MS pathogenesis and potential ...

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

Researchers have demonstrated that catheter-based polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) can ...

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 ...

In the compound action potential produced in a nerve conduction test, the fastest arriving fibers (the most myelinated) determine the onset latency and hence the velocity of that nerve.

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 ...

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 intersection of multiple nerve fibers poses a particular challenge for neuroimaging. Until now, two methods—3D-PLI and ComSLI—have been used separately.
