Classical trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic pain disorder that has been described as one of the most severe pains one can suffer. The most prevalent theory of TN etiology is that the trigeminal ...

Topics will include: motion analysis techniques, anthropometrics, biological tissue tolerance, muscle force generation, static and dynamic equilibrium, work/energy and impulse/momentum as they apply ...

We found that synchronous inputs through chemical synapses yielded a negative deflection in proximal extracellular electrodes, whereas those onto gap junctions manifested a positive deflection.

Detecting danger is key to the survival and success of all species. Animal nervous and immune systems cooperate to optimize danger detection. Preceding studies have highlighted the benefits of ...

“And so it’s hoped that if somebody, for example, is trying to get some muscle activity in their legs to be able to stand or walk, that when the stimulation is in place, there is a greater level of ...

“It’s a slower response than a typical nerve-muscle synapse, but it’s still an electrical response.” The researchers could see this electrical activity with calcium imaging, a technique that uses ...

A. V. Hill discussed the physical nature of the nerve impulse. The properties of the nervous system are based upon a certain transmitted wave which is known as the nervous impulse. This wave ...

When she was 9 years old, Camilla would entertain her friends by jumping off her bed and landing directly on her knees. She said she liked to hear the crunching sound they made—just like popcorn.

28. “A therapy (for nerve diseases) associated with synapses will be totally new, and expectations are high for that,” said team member Michisuke Yuzaki, a neurophysiology professor at Keio ...
