Our main goal in neuroscience is advancing the understanding of the human nervous system and the mechanisms behind its disorders. However, many invasive ...

The nervous system is a complex network of neurons and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. Understanding the neural circuits that drive ...

A new electrical stimulation therapy for spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) has shown promise in reactivating motor neurons and ...

The nervous system is the body’s command centre and we rely on it to survive. It guides almost everything we think, feel, and do by allowing the body to process and respond to information. With that ...

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. Rabah et al. elegantly ...

This can be a nervous time for some students, who might be anxious about new teachers, classes and routines. Returning to school after the extended summer break can also be a shock to the system.

The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (motor nerves, sensory nerves, cranial and spinal nerves, autonomic ganglia ...

The nervous system is the body’s direct communication system. It’s made up of the body’s many nerve cells. These cells work together in a network that sends and receives signals from one ...

People who are missing parts of their intestines or have limited intestinal mobility may require total parenteral nutrition (TPN), a type of nutrition that bypasses the digestive system. The rectum is ...

Parasitic infections can invade practically any part of the body. Brain parasites, those that infect the central nervous system which includes the brain, are potentially the most damaging and the most ...

New research has revealed that the nervous system circuitry that controls arm movement in octopuses is segmented, giving these extraordinary creatures precise control across all eight arms and ...

The fine control these almost-alien animals have over each of their eight arms is at least partially down to the segmentation of the nervous system circuitry that governs it. This discovery by ...
