Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...

In order for your body to work properly, your nervous system needs to be working properly. Your nervous system is responsible for helping your brain communicate with your body and helping your body ...

Scientists have built tiny living robots from frog embryo cells that spontaneously grow their own functional nervous systems, ...

GABA receptors, long recognised principally for their role in modulating neuronal excitability within the central nervous system, are now emerging as pivotal regulators of immune function. These ...

Researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University and Tufts University have engineered tiny living constructs from frog ...

The nervous system is a network of specialized cells that communicate information about an organism's surroundings and itself. It processes this information and causes reactions in other parts of the ...

The sympathetic nervous system, which helps your heart and other vital organs function all the time, increases activity in response to danger or stress, preparing the body for extra demands. Stress is ...

The brain has many regions that perform different functions. Have students use a map of the brain and brain stem to locate these regions: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, ...

In a review published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers discussed the interplay of the immune system and the sympathetic regulation of vital metabolic organs such as the pancreas, intestine ...

LA JOLLA – The brain, that exquisite network of billions of communicating cells, starts to take form with the genesis of nerve cells. Most newborn nerve cells, also called neurons, must travel from ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that functional nervous systems can form within self-organized living ...
