An AI model has been developed that can classify the cause of acute inflammation of the central nervous system early and ...

The diagram summarises how information flows from receptors to effectors in the nervous system. Receptors are groups of specialised cells. They detect a change in the environment and stimulate ...

Your nervous system uses billions of tiny, connected nerve cells called neurons to send the messages, which are electrical and chemical signals that tell your body what to do. Your nervous system ...

Radial glia: act as scaffolding for new nerve cells during the creation of the embryo’s nervous system. The cranial nerves are 12 pairs of nerves that arise directly from the brain and pass ...

But their mostly see-through bodies cloak a nervous system unlike that of ... stringy neurons sharing a cell membrane, a new 3-D map of its structure shows. While the nerve net has been described ...

The team of engineers and biologists aimed to develop an organoid that mimicked the structure of the human nervous system to create a more accurate and useful model of how cells differentiate. In an ...

A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in the nervous system of a model nematode, a type of worm, according to new ...

Your nervous system contains millions of nerve cells, called neurons. Neurons are highly specialised to transmit messages from one part of your body to another. All neurons have a cell body and ...

Compared with other vertebrates, the lamprey’s sympathetic nervous system formed much later in development and the clusters of cells were smaller. Previous studies may have missed these cells by ...
