The nervous system, essentially the body’s electrical wiring, is a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons that transmit signals between different parts of the body.

The nervous system has two major parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The central system is the primary command center for the body, and is comprised of ...

Worm Wiring Diagram May Help Us Understand Our Own Nervous System Genes in the humble C. elegans also turn up in autism, schizophrenia and other human disorders ...

The peripheral nervous system is the network of nerves strands that branch off from the left and right sides of the spinal cord through openings between each vertebra on the spinal canal. These nerve ...

New parent Tessa Crane had serious concerns about her son Oscar’s health when he was about 7 months old — but physicians repeatedly turned her away.

In a study published online today in Nature, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine describe the first complete wiring diagram of the nervous system of an animal, the roundworm ...

Researchers have found one of the oldest and most detailed fossils of the central nervous system yet identified, from a crustacean-like animal that lived more than 500 million years ago. The ...

They are borne by ticks and can cause acute and chronic symptoms in joints, muscles and the nervous system -- the bacteria that cause Lyme borreliosis. Researchers have now succeeded in ...

Viral Tools Enable First Detailed Study of Amphibian Neural Circuits Researchers adapted viral tools to map amphibian neural circuits, offering insights into nervous system development.

Stimulus → receptor → coordinator → effector → response The diagram summarises how information flows from receptors to effectors in the nervous system. Receptors are groups of specialised ...

The detailed results of QUANTI CNS were revealed as late-breaking clinical trial data at this year’s annual European Congress of Radiology (ECR), taking place at Vienna, Austria, from February ...

Scientists used viral tools to map frog nervous system development, revealing insights into neural circuits and evolution during metamorphosis.
