The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists. The first stem cell ...

Researchers have used new imaging techniques to explore the function and structures of the neuro-cutaneous unit, which is the connection between the nervous system and the skin. The results may change ...

Discover the neuroscience behind the vagus nerve, the dive reflex, and why certain areas of the human body are highly ...

Microneurography is a method that allows the researchers to listen to the nerve signalling in one nerve cell at a time. No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by ...

Could a common cause of excessive sweating actually start in the nervous system—not the sweat glands? A new federally funded ...

No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch. Comparisons between humans, mice and macaques show both similarities and ...

The first stem cell culture method that produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system has been developed by a team of engineers and biologists at the University of ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

New 3D images reveal the clitoris’s complex nerve network, highlighting long‑standing gaps in medical understanding of the female body.How big is the clitoris? Where exactly is it located? And how is ...

Have you ever reached out in a virtual world—whether in a game, a training simulation, or even a video call—and felt the absence of touch? It’s a strange limitation, isn’t it? No matter how visually ...
