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 ...

Sensory or mixed nerve action potentials are obtained by stimulation of a sensory or mixed nerve, respectively, with recording electrodes being placed distal or proximal to the stimulating electrode.

The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...

Drugs targeting amyloid plaques have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. A new approach is needed to tackle AD ...

Treating the neurons and me — my mental states — in a synergistic way proved to speed up and enhance healing. It does for ...

"The action potentials in an auditory nerve get fired at very particular ... Neuroscientists have long used computational models to explore how sensory information might be decoded by the brain ...

Furthermore, the exploration of cold-evoked potentials (CEPs) has emerged as a complementary technique, showing promise in assessing cold-specific alterations in sensory function, particularly in ...

That's because the backside of the spinal cord contains sensory neurons which in turn ... More experiments will be necessary to confirm the potentials of this approach," concludes Mortini.
