    Scientists Discover How Nerve Cells May Influence Their Own Activity

    Nerve cells communicate with each other by means of electrical impulses. To create such an impulse, the cells exchange charged ions with their environment. However, the role played by the ever-present chloride channels remained obscure, although some theories predicted a relationship between the...

    Nerve Cell Survival Promoted By A Good Mimic

    Altered expression and/or function of the protein BDNF, which promotes nerve cell survival, generation, and function, have been implicated in several neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer disease. Although several properties of BDNF preclude its therapeutic application, it has been...

    Age-Related Nerve Decline Is Associated With Inflammation And Differs By Gender

    New research investigating neurological decline in a population of "super healthy" elderly subjects found that the decline in neurological function of the peripheral nervous system attributed to aging may be related to metabolic factors, such as blood sugar levels, even if these factors are...

    Researchers Find New Brain Nerve Cells Key To Stress Resilience

    UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found new clues that might help explain why some people are more susceptible to stress than others. In a study of mice, the researchers determined that weeks after experiencing a stressful event, animals that were more susceptible to stress...

    New Insight Into Nerve Cell Communication

    Communication between nerve cells is vital for our bodies to function. Part of this communication happens through vesicles containing signalling molecules called neurotransmitters. The vesicle fuses with the nerve cell membrane; the neurotransmitters are released and quickly recorded by the next...

    how long would it take for bells palsy to kill the facial nerve?

    one of my friends has been diagnosed with bell palsy. i have been doing alot of reading about it but i havent been able to find how long it might take for a constrained nerve to die. i know people have recovered completley as long as 6 months after the onset of bells palsy. but how long would a...

    estimate the time it takes the nerve impulse to travel to your brain?

    - If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark -.The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. (Assume that you are approximately 1.8 m tall and that the nerve impulse travels at uniform speed.)

    8th nerve root pinched (surgery or injections?)?

    I have suffered for years with my neck pain and my arm falling asleep. The needle-like pains in my arm are painful, non-stop, and makes working or livig impossible. A nerve-induction study says its the 8th nerve root and its been pnched a long time. The VA did an MRI, but the stopped short of...
