SALT LAKE CITY – Researchers from the University of Utah have gained new insight into the regulation of adult nerve cell generation in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that regulates many ...

PULLMAN, Wash. - While the NFL season has come to an end, one WSU student is still hard at work to try and help as many pro football players as he can. Tyler Bland is a neuroscientist who is studying ...

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 years ...

Microscopic cross-section through a peripheral nerve bundle (dark blue), which contains hundreds of nerve fibers coated with Schwann cells. Numerous large fat cells (light blue) can be seen in the ...

Tiny robots can operate as nerve cell connectors, bridging gaps between two distinct groups of cells. These microscopic patches may lead to more sophisticated ways to grow networks of nerve cells in ...

Scientists from the University of California, Irvine have discovered that an injury to one part of the brain changes the connections between nerve cells across the entire brain. The new research was ...

Researchers teamed up to create a novel approach to surgically repairing injured peripheral nerves that relies on the versatility of gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells. A new approach to repairing ...

A complex system of nerves and muscles enables the human eye to blink, gaze, and shift focus. The trochlear nerve is one of six cranial nerves that carry electrical impulses from the brain to the eye.

During normal embryonic development of the zebrafish, axons of the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) navigate from the eye to a region of the brain known as the tectum. In common with other axons, retinal ...

Nerve tissue engineering is an application of tissue engineering in peripheral nerve regeneration, and tissue-engineered nerve grafts, like other tissue-engineered constructs, are typically composed ...
