research Correlation of Monosynaptic Field Potentials Evoked by Single Action Potentials in Single Primary Afferent Axons and Their Bouton Distributions in the Dorsal Horn
The study found that nerve signals are stronger when there are more connection points, but not necessarily denser, along the nerve's path in the spine.
research Multipotent Neural Crest Stem Cell-Like Cells from Rat Vibrissa Dermal Papilla Induce Neuronal Differentiation of PC12 Cells
Rat whisker cells can help turn other cells into nerve cells and might be used to treat brain injuries or diseases.
research Motoneuron-Specific PTEN Deletion in Mice Induces Neuronal Hypertrophy and Regeneration After Facial Nerve Injury
Deleting the PTEN gene in mice causes nerve cells to grow larger and heal better after injury, but may cause overgrowth and hair loss in older mice.
