Researchers have discovered a new mechanism by which substances can open a certain type of ion channel and in this way regulate nerve impulses. The study identifies a large group of substances that ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism that facilitates how two ion channels collaborate in the control of electrical signals in the brain. The investigators showed that the channels were anchored ...

(Philadelphia, PA) – Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered the mechanism that facilitates how two ion channels collaborate in the control of electrical ...

MACCURDY, in his stimulating book, “Common Principles in Psychology and Physiology”, has assailed the mechanistic interpretation of reflex function as incompatible with known facts. He concedes that ...

University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, for the first time ever, have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, ...

Stimulation of the cervical vagus nerve with implanted vagus nerve stimulation (iVNS) has been used clinically for more than 20 years to treat patients with epilepsy. More recently, a non-invasive ...

The permanent neurological deficits of multiple sclerosis patients largely depend on the extent of degeneration of long nerve fibers. The latter is initiated by ruptures in the cell membrane and the ...

Researchers at Göttingen Campus, Germany, have succeeded for the first time in examining the tiny synapses in the inner ...

Proper motor function depends on an intact nerve complex to conduct impulses between the central and peripheral nervous systems. Neurons, consisting of are incapable of undergoing mitosis after birth.

Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have discovered a new mechanism by which substances can open a certain type of ion channel and in this way regulate nerve impulses. The study, published in ...
