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 ...

Demyelinating disorders have traditionally been viewed through the lens of central nervous system pathology, yet growing evidence highlights substantial peripheral nervous system (PNS) involvement ...

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 ...

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% ...

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 ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...

Diseases of the nervous system refer to disorders that affect any part of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord or cranial nerves) or peripheral nervous system. Structural studies support the ...

Peripheral neuropathy is rarely fatal. However, it can cause serious complications if left untreated. These complications may affect a person’s independence, overall health, and life expectancy.

Neurologists are doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of various disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system as a whole. The human nervous system consists of the central ...
