Using human cancer cells, tumor and blood samples from cancer patients, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have uncovered the role of a neurotransmitter in the spread of aggressive cancers.

When a stray thought niggles your brain, reminding you to stop biting your nails, you'll stop because you want to and because you can-your brain's cells have no trouble communicating the message to ...

THE Nobel prize has been awarded to these two men of science for work on the chemical transmission of nervous impulses. It was known that the effects produced by stimulating sympathetic nerves were ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send signals that help us catch a ball, recognize a favorite song or pull our ...

His model of impulse transmission in the brain predicts the syllable sequence statistically will follow a partially observable Markov model. This means that the decision at the branch point is random, ...

IF a foreign motor nerve is connected to a normally innervated muscle, the nerve fibres grow into it but do not establish intimate contact with muscle fibres, and are unable to transmit impulses to ...
