This image of a neuron illustrates the movement of a nerve impulse along an axon -- the long, slender extension of the nerve cell body. Ohio State University researchers have discovered how a key ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

Note: Some students might have trouble discussing this topic because they may have a family member with Alzheimer's disease. Model a nerve cell. Explain to students that the nervous system functions ...

Researchers have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, they found unexpected potassium channels that give the ...

One of the greatest, relatively underappreciated, discoveries in all of science was the discovery of the nerve impulse in the 1930s by the British Lord Adrian. Adrian did win a Nobel Prize for his ...

Researchers have developed a new generation of microelectrode-array chips for measuring nerve impulses, enabling studies of how thousands of nerve cells interact with each other. For over 15 years, ...

The following text summarizes information provided in the video. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves that emerge directly from the brain and are responsible for many functions, including movement and ...
