These cells coordinate bodily functions and movement quickly, often without intentional thought. They also can be affected differently by health conditions. Talk with your healthcare provider if you ...

Cotton wool spots (CWSs) comprise localised accumulations of axoplasmic debris within adjacent bundles of unmyelinated ganglion cell axons. Their formation ... to be nothing more than sentinels of ...

While single cell study shows that myelinated axons impedance shifts can be adequately measured, those of unmyelinated fibres are too rapid for accurate measurement. We propose a finite element model ...

In a study, scientists challenge a fundamental tenet in neuroscience about the shape of axons -- the long, thin filaments radiating from nerve cells that ... were made in unmyelinated axons ...

Unmyelinated axons service the autonomic nervous system ... An axon is a thin fiber that connects neurons (nerve cells) to that they can communicate. Neurons communicate via electrical impulses that ...

To coax human nerve cells in a laboratory to thrive, there are three magic words: location, location, location. Many experiments grow human nerve cells in lab dishes. But a new study enlists some ...

It is called “DishBrain”. This is not a recently discovered regional delicacy, but rather a network of nerve cells, grown on a computer chip, which is capable of interacting with the outside ...

About 10% to 20% of the vagus nerve cells that connect with the digestive system send commands from the brain to control muscles that move food through the gut, according to the textbook "Nerves ...

The hope is that artificial nerve cells can be used for sensitive human prostheses, implantable systems for relieving neurological diseases, and soft intelligent robotics.
