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.

New research reveals that cells outside the brain can store and process memories, challenging the view that memory is limited ...

Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by a progressive loss of nerve cells leading to a decline in memory and cognition. A team of researchers at KU Leuven and VIB explored the molecular sequence of ...

Alzheimer's disease, the leading cause of dementia, affects over 55 million people worldwide. The disease is characterized by ...

The tail enables the sperm to swim. The nerve cell is extended, so that nerves can run to and from different parts of the body to the central nervous system. The cell has extensions and branches ...

Evoked potentials: These tests measure nerve response to sensory ... inflammatory myopathies where the immune system attacks ...

Interestingly, nerve impulses are generated by sodium ions moving into cells and potassium ions moving out of cells. The movement of ions changes the voltage of the cell, which activates a nerve ...

These powerful drugs are mainly used as painkillers, but also trigger a euphoric effect by interacting with nerve cells in the brain. However, they are very addictive and produce dangerous side ...

Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by a progressive loss of nerve cells leading to a decline in memory and cognition. Now, a new study by a team of researchers at KU Leuven and VIB explored ...

Griffith University scientists have developed tiny biological bridges, each made up of millions of nasal cells, which they hope will encourage nerve cells to regenerate and grow over a patient's ...
