If these nerve cells are activated artificially, i.e., by a visual prosthesis, it is important to induce appropriately coordinated nerve cell activity so that the brain receives signals that are ...

No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch. Comparisons between humans, mice and macaques show both similarities ...

The scientists compared connections between color-transmitting nerve cells in the retinas of humans with those in two monkeys, the Old World macaque and the New World common marmoset.

Cancer cells can acquire energy-generating structures called mitochondria from nearby nerve cells, which seems to aid their spread, a discovery that could lead to new treatments ...

The synapse (illustrated) is the gap between the outgoing wire, or axon, of one nerve cell and the receiving wire, or dendrite, of the next. Nerve cells send chemical messages across these gaps.

Mast cells produce so-called nerve growth factors, which stimulate nerve cell production. The antibiotics used to treat UTIs aren’t often selective in the bacteria they target, affecting some ...

Pain-sensing nerve cells from male and female animal tissues responded differently to the same sensitizing substances, researchers report June 3 in Brain.
