COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have solved a longstanding mystery of the central nervous system, showing how a key protein gets to the right spot to launch electrical impulses that enable communication ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism that facilitates how two ion channels collaborate in the control of electrical signals in the brain. The investigators showed that the channels were anchored ...

Prosthetic limbs are becoming increasingly high-tech and realistic, but they're not there just yet. A group of researchers from Stanford University, however, are working to take things a step further.

For over 15 years, ETH Professor Andreas Hierlemann and his group have been developing microelectrode-array chips that can be used to precisely excite nerve cells in cell cultures and to measure ...

A new paper led by UC San Diego researchers offers an encyclopedic review of research on vagus nerve stimulation for conditions from depression to rheumatoid arthritis, as well as highlighting next ...
