Treatment with CNM-Au8 led to clinical improvements in relapsing-remitting MS patients that linked to signs of nerve cell ...

Learning is something everyone does daily—mastering new skills at work, remembering song lyrics, or following directions to ...

Autism has a genetic component, but symptoms also depend on gut health and the gut-brain axis. New research shows that ...

Japan is a global leader in cutting-edge research into the use of iPS cells, whose potentials include the development of ... enabling them to differentiate into heart, nerve, or other cells, what is ...

New research highlights how the brain’s own chemistry can suppress pain, explaining why severely injured individuals, like WWII soldiers, sometimes feel little discomfort.

The body contains various types of nerve cells, including graded neurons ... neurons transmit information using all-or-none action potentials, creating a more binary form of communication.

In a provocative new study, scientists challenge a fundamental tenet in neuroscience about the shape of axons -- the long, thin filaments radiating from nerve cells that transmit electrical signal ...

New research reveals that individual neurons follow multiple learning rules simultaneously, challenging the long-held belief that synaptic plasticity operates uniformly throughout the brain.

1). Controlled changes in the ion permeability of the membrane lead to rapid alterations in voltage across the membrane, thereby generating action potentials. These trigger nerve cells to transmit ...

Nerve cells communicate by sending electrical signals called action potentials down long fibers called axons, which are contained within an insulating substance called myelin. In MS, the body's ...

Motor improvements in SMA adults treated with Spinraza paralleled a boost in electrical impulses along nerves that supply ...

The study, “Sensory Nerve Action Potential Analysis in a Cohort of Patients With Spinal ... This leads to the progressive loss of motor neurons, the nerve cells that control voluntary movements, while ...
