Researchers have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, they found unexpected potassium channels that give the ...

Researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital have identified a metabolite of existing anaesthetics that can block sensory nerves ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered that glial cells - one of the main components of the brain -not only control the speed of nerve conduction, but also influence the precision of signal transduction in the ...

A new study shows how targeted resistance exercise may preserve physical performance—especially in older people with declining nerve function ...

Researchers identified a protein in mouse models that acts as a brake on myelin production, which could be a target for new MS treatments.
