In 2004, a research group at Peking University First Hospital discovered a mutation in the gene coding for a sodium-channel ...

Dr Peter Verheyen explores quantum bits and consciousness, focusing this time on biochemical information processing ...

fibrillation potentials, and fasciculations (Table 4). Motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities and compound muscle action potentials and sensory action potential amplitudes were abnormal for two ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.

Three people with a muscle-destroying disease destined to worsen got a little stronger when an implanted device zapped their ...

OUR knowledge of impulse patterns in the different types of afferent nerve fibres is based chiefly on animal experiments. It is true that Hensel and Boman 1 recorded action potentials from single ...

This important study provides new evidence on the role of norepinephrine (NE) release in the hippocampus in response to environmental transitions (event boundaries), providing a potential link between ...

An undefinable disease cause and unpredictable disease course in most patients make patient education about the goals of therapy essential. The primary goals are to control the local pain, reduce ...

the surgical sciatic nerve was exposed, and the receiving electrode inserted into the distal gastrocnemius muscle recorded compound muscle action potential (CMAP) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV).
