According to the traditional theory of nerves, two nerve impulses sent from opposite ends of a nerve annihilate when they collide. New research now shows that two colliding nerve impulses simply pass ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Danish scientists challenge the accepted scientific views of how nerves function and of how anesthetics work. Their research suggests that action of nerves is based on sound pulses and that ...

I HAVE only to-day seen Dr. Adrian's letter of September 30 in which he states with great clearness the present-day physical explanation of the nature and transmission of the nerve impulse.

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), ...

What Is the Occipital Nerve? The occipital nerve is actually a group of nerves that give you feeling in your scalp. They branch off from larger nerves in your spinal cord. There are three kinds of ...

If you have nerve pain, you know that it can take many forms: burning, tingling, electric, and pins-and-needles. But if you have no idea what's causing the pain, you're not alone. Millions of people ...

According to the traditional theory of nerves, two nerve impulses sent from opposite ends of a nerve annihilate when they collide. New research from the Niels Bohr Institute now shows that two ...
