Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps pain sensing nerve cells stay ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...

The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is critical for speech as it provides nerve function to muscles in the larynx, or voice box. People have two RLNs, one on each side of the neck. Instead of ...

Most people think of Alzheimer’s disease as an illness of aging. But in fact, the brain changes that characterize it begin ...

Microscopic cross-section through a peripheral nerve bundle (dark blue), which contains hundreds of nerve fibers coated with Schwann cells. Numerous large fat cells (light blue) can be seen in the ...

Researches at Linköping University have created an artificial nerve cell from a single organic electrochemical transistor, while still reproducing as many as 17 neural properties. An artificial neuron ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that functional nervous systems can form within self-organized living ...

Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built ...
