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 ...

Quantum Biopharma expects data from two now-completed, FDA-requested toxicology studies to support clinical testing of its ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...

A new study published in the journal Brain Stimulation shows that high electrical frequency stimulation can activate specific nerve fibers in the body MANHASSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electrically ...

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 ...

Axons that are regularly stimulated do not pass on increases in performance to their neighbors, study on mice reveals. A complex network of nerve fibers and synapses in the brain is responsible for ...

Chemotherapy has long forced patients to choose between fighting their cancer and living with nerve pain that can linger for ...

Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is a neurological disorder which primarily affects the small, sensory nerve fibers of the peripheral nervous system. SFN damages either small myelinated (Aδ) fibers or ...

We investigated the distribution of cavernous nerve (CN) fibers around the prostate by electrical nerve stimulation during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy to classify the distribution of the CN ...

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 ...
