Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...

ALS and other motor neuron diseases are increasing in Europe, with a 2.8% annual prevalence rise. This rise is partly due to ...

A trial enrolled nine individuals with PTSD and used a next-generation miniaturized system to deliver vagus nerve stimulation ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

A new MIT study that focuses on a single cell in one of nature's simplest nervous systems provides an in-depth illustration of how individual neurons can use multiple means to drive complex behaviors.

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and ...

A recent study suggests vagus nerve stimulation paired with exposure therapy may produce lasting relief for people with ...

In C. elegans worms, a single neuron named HSN uses multiple chemicals and connections to orchestrate egg-laying and locomotion over the course of several minutes. A new MIT study that focuses on a ...
