A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

The FDA has granted breakthrough therapy designation to privosegtor for optic neuritis, a common symptom of multiple ...

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 ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

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 ...

Axons that are regularly stimulated do not pass on increases in performance to their neighbors, study on mice reveals. A complex network of nerve fibers and synapses in the brain is responsible for ...

Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is a neurological disorder which primarily affects the small, sensory nerve fibers of the peripheral nervous system. SFN damages either small myelinated (Aδ) fibers or ...
