A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

Thought only to infect the respiratory tract, new research has proved for the first time that the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), very common in young children, can also penetrate nerve cells ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

Researchers have successfully used 'bioinks' containing living nerve cells (neurons) to print 3D nerve networks that can grow in the laboratory and transmit and respond to nerve signals. Monash ...

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 ...

In the quest for optimal nerve health, many individuals struggle with the relentless discomfort of neuropathy, a condition that can dramatically affect the quality of life. A myriad of solutions has ...
