In order for your body to work properly, your nervous system needs to be working properly. Your nervous system is responsible for helping your brain communicate with your body and helping your body ...

Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...

Your nervous system is a network that sends signals between your brain and other parts of your body to control your body's movements and processes. This system includes your brain, spinal cord, and ...

Your brain gets all the glory while your other nervous system, the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) toils away in thankless obscurity. What’s the PNS? Oh, merely the neurons that live outside of your ...

Scientists have discovered microglia actually squeeze through the spinal boundary, crossing into the peripheral nervous system in response to injury. Inside the body, disease and injury can leave ...

Others, however, believed that the peripheral nervous system (nerves that connect the body's extremities to the brain) played a larger role, as nerves in the moving limbs produced feedback signals ...

A team has made a major breakthrough in the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale biological tissues. They developed the world's fastest high-definition 3D imaging technology for the ...

An international team of researchers has discovered a new component of the peripheral nervous system that acts by increasing energy metabolism in the body. The finding paves the way for the ...

Injured axons instruct Schwann cells to build specialized actin spheres to break down and remove axon fragments, thereby starting the regeneration process. Damaged peripheral nerves can regenerate ...

A recent study aimed to explore how the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is affected in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Of the more than 1,800 people followed in the study, nearly 8% ...
