The original nerve impulse findings were that the rate of impulse firing governed the impact on neuronal targets, whether they be muscle or other neurons. Various labs, including my own, in the 1980s, ...

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 years ...

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism by which substances can open a certain type of ion channel and in this way regulate nerve impulses. The study identifies a large group of substances that ...

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 ...

This image of a neuron illustrates the movement of a nerve impulse along an axon -- the long, slender extension of the nerve cell body. Ohio State University researchers have discovered how a key ...

The function of pain is to stop you doing stupid things twice. It has to hurt to make it work.

At the forefront of this shift is Nuropod, a U.S.-available, non-invasive, ear-worn vagus nerve stimulation wearable designed to help support reductions in symptoms associated with persistent fatigue, ...

Today’s Nobel Prize is in “Physiology or Medicine,” which often means “biology” these days. And 2021 is no exception, as two researchers have won for their discoveries of how humans detect their ...

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 years, ...

For over 15 years, ETH Professor Andreas Hierlemann and his group have been developing microelectrode-array chips that can be used to precisely excite nerve cells in cell cultures and to measure ...
