Scientists have developed a 3D-printed implant that delivers targeted electrical stimulation to damaged areas of the spinal ...

A new understanding of how tumours exploit our nervous system is leading to new ways to treat cancer using familiar drugs like Botox and beta blockers ...

Scientists have successfully grown over 400 different types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab—a groundbreaking step toward replicating the complexity of the human brain.

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are ...

If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk ...

Gray matter is made up of neuron cell bodies and dendrites and is responsible for processing and interpreting information, ...

The team also discovered that the splicing protein is needed in order for mRNA to move from the nerve cell body along axons to more peripheral parts of a neuron.

Scientists at King’s College London and the University of Bath in the U.K., report they have discovered how a molecule plays a critical role in nerve cell development. This finding has important ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see -- but it's been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now ...

Dec 20, 2024 Laser-based artificial neuron mimics nerve cell functions at lightning speed (Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, ...

Early signs of motor neuron disease include weakness and slurred speech. Motor neurons are nerve cells that send electrical output signals to the muscles, affecting the muscles’ ability to function.
