Cross-section of nerve fibers from the mouse optic nerve: The dark dense lines show the insulating layer, the myelin. Highlighted in red is a swollen, clogged area of an impaired nerve fiber – caused ...

New research from OHSU looked at human tissue to try to understand how many nerve fibers are contained in the clitoris. It seems to be the first time that this has ever been studied (a previous ...

In order to understand brain diseases, neuroscientists try to untangle the intricate nerve fiber labyrinth of our brain. Before analyzing brain tissue under a microscope, it is often soaked in ...

What meaning does decreased nerve conduction amplitude have in light of normal conduction velocity and normal muscle testing on EMG? The morphology of the peripheral nerve response is formed by the ...

The clitoris contains thousands more touch-detecting nerve fibers than once thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The nerve ...

A tickly itch, a painful scratch, or the feeling of a refreshing breeze—the skin is teaming with nerve endings that drive these sensations. Scientists are getting into the epidermis to explore how ...

A new study published in the journal Brain Stimulation shows that high electrical frequency stimulation can activate specific nerve fibers in the body MANHASSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electrically ...

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 ...
