Early in his career, his scientific genius manifested itself in a now–classic piece of work demonstrating that conduction of the nerve impulse requires the spread of electrical current between ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A brief application of a polymer commonly used in medicine and cosmetics has been shown to immediately repair damaged nerve membranes in live guinea pigs with severe spinal cord ...

Standard nerve conduction techniques using constant measured distances were applied to evaluate the median, ulnar, and radial nerves in the dominant and non-dominant limb of each individual. Results: ...

NCS evaluates the speed and amplitude of electrical impulses traveling along nerves ... clearly explain a patient’s symptoms, and the nerve conduction study and EMG can provide a much clearer ...

the action potential in myelinated nerve fibers jumps from one node to the next. This mode of travel by the action potential is called "saltatory conduction" and allows for rapid impulse ...

Myelin is a complex, fatty tissue that ensheathes vertebrate nerve axons. It enables rapid impulse conduction without needing ...

Bupivacaine HCl 2.5mg/mL, 5mg/mL; epinephrine 1:200000; soln for inj. Bupivacaine blocks the generation and the conduction of nerve impulses, presumably by increasing the threshold for electrical ...
