Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

This article is based on a poster originally authored by Anna-Mari Kärkkäinen, Riikka Immonen, Leena Rauhala, Artem Shatillo, and Susanne Bäck. Animal models are critical in improving our ...

A deep-learning model trained on optical coherence tomography scans of the optic nerve head reliably distinguished among various types of optic nerve damage, such as glaucoma, non-arteritic anterior ...

A new tool to model peripheral nerve stimulation rapidly discovered optimal electrical waveforms (white traces) which, when delivered through the metal contacts of a cuff electrode placed on the vagus ...

Neuropathic pain, often referred to as nerve pain, can arise from a range of conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, nerve ...

Low-dose radiation has been used in clinical and experimental models for the prevention of scarring and for fracture healing. There is evidence that low-dose radiation improves the hormesis of various ...

For people living with chronic inflammatory diseases, the immune system can feel like a switch that is stuck in the ‘on’ position. Conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) trigger repeated ...

What Is the Occipital Nerve? The occipital nerve is actually a group of nerves that give you feeling in your scalp. They branch off from larger nerves in your spinal cord. There are three kinds of ...

The phrenic nerve controls the diaphragm, the dome-shaped muscle that is primarily responsible for breathing. Contraction of the diaphragm expands the lungs and draws air into them. The phrenic nerve ...
