Nerve Signals

Researchers from the University of South Australia and Flinders University have found that recordings from the human retina can offer distinct signals for both disorders. Retinal signals are generated by specific nerves and identifying the difference in them can help them shed light on the differences between children with ADHD and those with ASD.

In a game-changing discovery in medical sciences, researchers have developed a flexible implant that can relieve pain in the patient. The implant can serve as an alternative to painkillers and can help obviate the need to use addictive medications. The implant is a biocompatible and water-soluble device that functions by wrapping around the nerves ...

Alzheimer’s disease is linked with the deposition of misfolded peptides called amyloid ß42 (Aß42) in the spaces between nerve cells

Facebook on Friday said that it is developing a wristband to control its augmented reality (AR) glasses that are expected to be launched this year. The AR-supporting wearable device will also be capable of detecting nerve signals to interpret complex hand gestures and moves, the company detailed in a blog post.

Repeated binge drinking was found to significantly alter molecular pathways in the nucleus accumbens -- a region of the brain linked to addiction.

A particular blood-clotting protein can hamper repair in the brain. Nerve cells then get exposed to the environment leading to impaired cognitive function and loss of an ability to transmit nerve signals to the brain faster. Read full report here.

Researchers discovered a drug combination that can regenerate hair cells in human ears that detect sound waves and translate them into nerve signals enabling one to regain the sense of hearing.

At SXSW, Samsung unveiled its new Entrim 4D headhones that will give you the sensation of movement by sending electric signals to a nerve in your ear.

For the first time, researchers have used stem cells to create a specialised nerve cell that makes serotonin, a signalling chemical with a broad role in the brain.

Scientists at University College London have found the recipe for painlessness in a study that used genetically modified mice to show a channel responsible for allowing pain signals to pass along nerve cell membranes is vital to feel agony.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have developed a method to efficiently turn human stem cells into retinal nerve cells that transmit visual signals from the eye to the brain.

British researchers said they have identified a new gene linked to nerve function, that could hold the key to treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Indulging in fatty foods could destroy stomach's signals to the brain, according to a new study which gives insight why many dieters tend to regain the weight after losing it.New University of Adelaide research has found the nerves in the stomach which...
