Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that ...

A recent study published in the Science Advances Journal demonstrated that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and viral fusogens cause glial and neuronal fusion.

Your autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of your central nervous system (CNS) that controls unconscious activities like breathing and digestion. This system is always working, whether or not ...

Your nervous system is a network that sends signals between your brain and other parts of your body to control your body's movements and processes. This system includes your brain, spinal cord, and ...

Your sympathetic nervous system is one of the branches of your autonomic nervous system. It controls functions under unconscious control related to “fight or flight.” Your nervous system plays a ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

Your autonomic nervous system helps regulate emotional balance, but chronic stress or trauma can trigger an overactive fight-or-flight response. Nervous system dysregulation refers to a condition in ...

The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neuron disease, for 55 years. He was one of the longest-surviving people with the condition.
