Salk researchers report they have discovered a protein called Mitf that mediates the repair function in the peripheral nervous systems of mice. The protein Mitf helps turn on the repair function of ...
Until I saw pieces of giant squid in a fish market in Chile, I somehow hadn't appreciated that giant squids were really giant. Ralph Greenspan's An Introduction to Nervous Systems will similarly ...
IN no part of the body is the relation of form and function so clear as in the central nervous system. Modern neurology owes its present position to advances in knowledge which have come from many ...
Developmental biologists at Tufts University in Massachusetts have produced what they call “neurobots”, small clumps of cells ...
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 the ...
Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built ...
Injured axons instruct Schwann cells to build specialized actin spheres to break down and remove axon fragments, thereby starting the regeneration process. Damaged peripheral nerves can regenerate ...
'In a low-risk group of babies born full-term, the autonomic nervous system and cortical systems appear to function well regardless of whether infants were exposed to labor prior to birth,' says Sarah ...
Hormones are a crucial part of the body's signaling system, and the controlled release of these compounds affects tissues around the body. Each of these hormones induces specific responses from these ...
Octopuses are not much like humans — they are invertebrates with eight arms, and more closely related to clams and snails. Still, they have evolved complex nervous systems and are capable of a wide ...
We are born with a biological survival system that is designed to respond to any environmental or psychological threat presented to us. Our nervous system is constantly processing information and ...
