Small fiber neuropathy occurs as a result of damage to the small fibers of the peripheral nervous system. Damage to the peripheral nervous system that affects the small fibers can cause burning pain ...
After enduring a two-year diagnostic odyssey, Gregory Maassen received a diagnosis of a postinfectious form of peripheral ...
To rapidly transmit electrical signals in the brain, the long nerve fibers are insulated by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells also respond to the electrical signals of active ...
Researchers have used synchrotron light to study what happens to the nerves in diabetes. The technique shows the 3D-structure of nerve fibers in very high resolution. In an international collaboration ...
A nerve biopsy involves the process of removing a small length of a peripheral nerve for histologic examination under the microscope. Several nerves can be biopsied but the major requirement for ...
A tickly itch, a painful scratch, or the feeling of a refreshing breeze—the skin is teaming with nerve endings that drive these sensations. Scientists are getting into the epidermis to explore how ...
Kevin Tracey is a pioneer of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) research. Since the early 2000s, his team at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research has been rigorously investigating VNS ...
A new tool to model peripheral nerve stimulation rapidly discovered optimal electrical waveforms (white traces) which, when delivered through the metal contacts of a cuff electrode placed on the vagus ...
