Spinal cord stimulation might be a valuable alternative to electrical deep-brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), suggests a study by researchers at Duke University ...
Disruptions between the brain’s master circadian clock and the liver’s internal clock, communicated via the hepatic afferent vagal nerve (HVAN), can lead to unhealthy eating patterns and increased ...
Researchers identified 16 distinct types of nerve cells involved in human touch and compared them with those in mice and macaques, showing both shared and unique traits.
Disruptions between the brain's master circadian clock and the liver's internal clock, communicated via the hepatic afferent vagal nerve (HVAN), can lead to unhealthy eating patterns and increased ...
But in recent years, the neuroscientist Prof Francis McGlone has been studying another type of nerve fiber (known as afferent C fibers) which conducts information at around a fiftieth of the speed ...
Neuromodulation for overactive bladder is hypothesized to correct deficient spinal inhibitory signals, which would suppress detrusor contractions by stimulating afferent anorectal branches of ...
Loss of vision or, in the case of an unconscious patient, a relative afferent pupillary deficit representing TON may be the only evidence of ocular pathology. The clinician must reconcile a ...
This important study partially fills the gap in the knowledge of olfaction at the level of the Anterior Olfactory Nucleus (AON) and Piriform Cortex with functional magnetic resonance imaging, ...
