What are nerve conduction tests? Nerve conduction tests are performed to evaluate the ability of nerves to conduct impulses and the speed thereof. Nerve conduction studies can indicate the extent of ...

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

University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, for the first time ever, have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, ...

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

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 ...

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine describes a key molecular mechanism in nerve fibers that ensures the rapid conductance of ...

Dr. Justin Grant, DO, a fellowship-trained sports medicine provider at Colorado Advanced Orthopedics(CAO), is certified in nerve conduction study (NCS) and needle electromyography (EMG). NCS evaluates ...

Scientists have successfully used frozen human cells taken from nerve tissue to restore nerve conduction in an animal model of multiple sclerosis. Scientists have successfully used frozen human cells ...

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

UNTIL Prof. Kato had contributed this most important monograph to the study of the nervous system, it had been held generally that a nerve impulse passing through a length of nerve which had been ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A brief application of a polymer commonly used in medicine and cosmetics has been shown to immediately repair damaged nerve membranes in live guinea pigs with severe spinal cord ...
