Bottom line: This study found that, in rats, acute nerve injuries that may recover can be distinguished from those that are unlikely to recover based on the response to intraoperative electrical nerve ...

Abstract: Objective: This study investigated the attenuation of somatosensation in healthy subjects (n = 18) and subjects with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) (n = 6) via displacement-guided median nerve ...

Far-field potentials (FFPs), weak electrical signals triggered by nerve stimulation that can be recorded noninvasively on the skin, may serve as reliable clinical biomarkers to support early diagnosis ...

When it comes to brain health, the vagus nerve might not always be top of mind. But this mighty nerve serves an important function: It sends information between your brain and other vital organs, and ...

Most adolescents and adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have normal sensory nerve function, even those with long-lasting disease, regardless of SMA type, a study in the Netherlands shows. Nerve ...

A pinched nerve in the upper part of the spine, known as the cervical spine, can potentially cause dizziness. However, dizziness isn’t a common symptom of a pinched nerve. Pinched nerves typically ...

Researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have, for the first time, witnessed nerve plasticity in the axon in motion. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com The axon initial ...

This important study enhances our understanding of ephaptic interactions by utilizing earthworm recordings to refine a general model and use it to predict ephaptic influences across various synaptic ...
