Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...

Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built ...

The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is critical for speech as it provides nerve function to muscles in the larynx, or voice box. People have two RLNs, one on each side of the neck. Instead of ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

Researches at Linköping University have created an artificial nerve cell from a single organic electrochemical transistor, while still reproducing as many as 17 neural properties. An artificial neuron ...

A new study of comb jellies has revealed that their nervous system is more complex than previously thought. What’s more, this ...

Foods rich in magnesium, omega-3s, probiotics, antioxidants, and more can help your nervous system function properly, ...

Developmental biologists at Tufts University in Massachusetts have produced what they call “neurobots”, small clumps of cells that can swim through water and are made from a combination of embryonic ...

Vagus nerve stimulation may treat many diseases by changing brain signals, inflammation, and organ communication.

Using microelectrodes, scientists could show that cells in the retina play different roles. The produce different signals, which is important for the processing of visual information. These ...
