The original nerve impulse findings were that the rate of impulse firing governed the impact on neuronal targets, whether they be muscle or other neurons. Various labs, including my own, in the 1980s, ...

A multi-disciplinary team has found a way to convert nerve impulses into light, opening the way for more scalable neural implants. Biomedical and electrical engineers at UNSW Sydney have developed a ...

This image of a neuron illustrates the movement of a nerve impulse along an axon -- the long, slender extension of the nerve cell body. Ohio State University researchers have discovered how a key ...

The function of pain is to stop you doing stupid things twice. It has to hurt to make it work.

At the forefront of this shift is Nuropod, a U.S.-available, non-invasive, ear-worn vagus nerve stimulation wearable designed to help support reductions in symptoms associated with persistent fatigue, ...

The trigeminal nerve is a cranial nerve. It arises from the brainstem, and its branches cover your face and head. The trigeminal nerve is a paired nerve — you have one on each side. Its chief function ...
