New research describes a key molecular mechanism in nerve fibers that ensures the rapid conductance of nervous system impulses. New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School ...

A type of novel molecular voltage sensor makes it possible to watch nerve cells at work. The principle of the method has been known for some time. However, researchers at the University of Bonn and ...

THAT nerve proteins may take an active role during nerve impulse propagation has been proposed in many publications 1. In a paper, now in the press, I have suggested that a small fraction of the nerve ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Caltech scientists have just developed a new ultrafast camera that can record footage of impulses that travel through nerve cells, as reported by SciTechDaily. The camera can also capture video of ...

Inhibition in Visual Systems Certain kinds of sensory nerve impulses suppress or inhibit the propagation of other impulses. This property enables the human eye to see contours more clearly and clams ...

Scientists have developed a miniaturized electronic platform for the stimulation and recording of peripheral nerve fibers on a chip. By modulating and rapidly recording nerve activity with a high ...

ETH 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 ...
