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 ...

ALTHOUGH the paralysing action of anoxia on peripheral nerve has been frequently studied in previous investigations, so far as we know, no attempt has as yet been made to examine whether excitability ...

A type of novel molecular voltage sensor makes it possible to watch nerve cells at work. The principle of the method has been known for some time. However, researchers at the University of Bonn and ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Caltech scientists have just developed a new ultrafast camera that can record footage of impulses that travel through nerve cells, as reported by SciTechDaily. The camera can also capture video of ...

Inhibition in Visual Systems Certain kinds of sensory nerve impulses suppress or inhibit the propagation of other impulses. This property enables the human eye to see contours more clearly and clams ...

Scientists have developed a miniaturized electronic platform for the stimulation and recording of peripheral nerve fibers on a chip. By modulating and rapidly recording nerve activity with a high ...

ETH researchers have developed a new generation of microelectrode- array chips for measuring nerve impulses, enabling studies of how thousands of nerve cells interact with each other. For over 15 ...

A type of novel molecular voltage sensor makes it possible to watch nerve cells at work. The principle of the method has been known for some time. However, researchers have now succeeded in ...
