One of the greatest, relatively underappreciated, discoveries in all of science was the discovery of the nerve impulse in the 1930s by the British Lord Adrian. Adrian did win a Nobel Prize for his ...
AT the Friday evening discourse held at the Royal Institution on February 10, Prof. A. V. Hill discussed the physical nature of the nerve impulse. The properties of the nervous system are based upon a ...
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 ...
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 ...
University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, for the first time ever, have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, ...
The “wires” that carry electrical signals among nerve cells in the brain can influence the threshold at which the cells will send those signals, research on mouse-brain tissue shows. The finding ...
DR. ALCOCK, in his recent paper at the Royal Society, finds the rate of transmission of nerve impulses in man to be 66 metres per second. Sir Michael Foster, in his “Physiology” (1888, part i. p. 76), ...

The Right Chemistry: How dreams and frog hearts led to the discovery of neurotransmitters
The banging on the door at 3 in the morning of March 12, 1938, by Gestapo agents was fierce. They were rousing Otto Loewi out of bed to drag him off to jail. His crime? Loewi was Jewish. It didn’t ...
The trigeminal nerve is a cranial nerve. It arises from the brainstem, and its branches cover your face and head. The trigeminal nerve is a paired nerve — you have one on each side. Its chief function ...
One of the greatest, relatively underappreciated, discoveries in all of science was the discovery of the nerve impulse in the 1930s by the British Lord Adrian. Adrian did win a Nobel Prize for his ...
Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, 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, published in ...
