University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, for the first time ever, have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, ...

Researchers have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, they found unexpected potassium channels that give the ...

New research describes a key molecular mechanism in nerve fibers that ensures the rapid conductance of nervous system impulses. New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School ...

The original nerve impulse findings were that the rate of impulse firing governed the impact on neuronal targets, whether they be muscle or other neurons. Various labs, including my own, in the 1980s, ...

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 ...

IN this second monograph Prof. Kato describes further numerous experiments which he and twenty collaborators at Keio University have carried out on the passage of the impulse in narcotised nerve. An ...

A longstanding mystery of the central nervous system, showing how a key protein gets to the right spot to launch electrical impulses that enable communication of nerve signals to and from the brain ...

The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds fibers called axons, which are the long thin projections that extend from the main body of a nerve cell or neuron. This sheath is composed of ...

Bupivacaine HCl 2.5mg/mL, 5mg/mL; epinephrine 1:200000; soln for inj. Bupivacaine blocks the generation and the conduction of nerve impulses, presumably by increasing the threshold for electrical ...
