Microneurography is a method that allows the researchers to listen to the nerve signalling in one nerve cell at a time. No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by ...

WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Researchers said on Tuesday they had made a type of nerve cell out of ordinary skin cells in a new approach to stem cell research. They made motor neurons out of induced ...

Using microelectrodes, scientists could show that cells in the retina play different roles. The produce different signals, which is important for the processing of visual information. These ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified three types of nerve cells connected to the intestinal villi, suggesting that previously unknown neural networks regulate fluid balance in the gut.

A UCL research team has found clues as to why some nerve cells die in dementia and not others, through a new study in fruit flies. The study, published in Cell Reports, is helping to answer one of the ...

Millions of myelin-producing cells have been mapped in the mouse brain, advancing our understanding of nervous system ...

Until recently, most researchers assumed that the vagus nerve sent messages up to the brain from the GI tract using the equivalent of one northbound lane on a gut-to-brain communication superhighway.
