MANHASSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Researchers at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have developed a groundbreaking new method for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) that offers unprecedented ...

To rapidly transmit electrical signals in the brain, the long nerve fibers are insulated by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells also respond to the electrical signals of active ...

The image show two optic nerves, six weeks after they have been crushed (injury marked with a rhombus.) The nerves project fibers from left to right. Live nerve tissue glows green in this image, while ...

This produces light intensity profiles that reveal the underlying brain tissue structure and thus the crossing of nerve fibers. A combination of both methods in a single device would offer decisive ...

Scientists have used gene therapy to regenerate damaged nerve fibers in the eye, in a discovery that could aid the development of new treatments for glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness ...

The vagus nerve is a vine of nerve fibers with roots in nearly every organ and shoots in the brain. It helps us detect a racing heart, rising blood pressure, stomachache, discomfort, an overzealous ...
