A team of researchers have created a new resource for studying motor control of wing movements in fruit flies.

Scientists have unraveled the evolutionary history of the ventral nerve cord in ecdysozoan animals, revealing that the common ancestor likely possessed a single ventral nerve cord. Paired nerve ...

New fossil discovery sheds light on the early evolution of animal nervous systems Groundbreaking research uncovers the origins of the ventral nerve cord in early moulting animals Date: January 10 ...

An international team of scientists has uncovered a fascinating piece of the evolutionary puzzle: how the ventral nerve cord, a key component of the central nervous system, evolved in ecdysozoan ...

The vagus nerve is a vine of nerve fibers with roots in nearly every organ and ... of stress hormones such as cortisol. A third is the ventral tegmental area, which plays a central role in our ...

METHODS: End-to-end anastomosis was performed between the left L1 and L3 ventral roots using autogenous nerve graft ,and the right L1 and L3 roots were left intact. In control animals, the left L3 ...

These nerve roots have fibers that originate from the ventral region (also called anterior or front) of the spine and the posterior (also called dorsal or back) region of the spine. The anterior ...

The motor roots receive nerve messages from the anterior (front or ventral) part of the spinal cord and send the nerve messages to the spinal nerves. These messages eventually make their way to small ...

Lumbar radiculopathy is inflammation of a nerve root in the lower back that causes symptoms in the back and down the leg. Radiculopathy is pain and other neurological symptoms caused by the ...

A ventral hernia, also known as an abdominal hernia, occurs when tissue protrudes through the abdomen wall due to a gap or weakness. Hernias can develop in several places in the body, and doctors ...

The vertebral vessels were identified first then the cervical nerve roots found running just dorsal to it. On 2D ultrasound, the ventral ramus of the cervical nerve was represented by a 2–5 mm linear ...
