Kevin Tracey is a pioneer of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) research. Since the early 2000s, his team at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research has been rigorously investigating VNS ...

New research from Oregon Health & Science University found over 10,000 nerve fibers in the marble-sized human clitoris, the organ responsible for sexual pleasure in female bodies. Previous estimates, ...

Axons that are regularly stimulated do not pass on increases in performance to their neighbors, study on mice reveals. A complex network of nerve fibers and synapses in the brain is responsible for ...

Researchers warn that implanted nerve cuff electrodes can trigger unintended nerve stimulation and pain during MRI scans.

Sciatica is more than a simple backache. It is a biological warning signal that indicates a problem with the largest nerve in ...

To rapidly transmit electrical signals in the brain, the long nerve fibers are insulated by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells also respond to the electrical signals of active ...
