THE intimate nature of the nervous impulse has long been a subject for speculation by physiologists and psychologists. Simple models to explain the mode of transmission of an impulse along a nerve, ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism by which substances can open a certain type of ion channel and in this way regulate nerve impulses. The study identifies a large group of substances that ...

AT the Friday evening discourse held at the Royal Institution on February 10, Prof. A. V. Hill discussed the physical nature of the nerve impulse. The properties of the nervous system are based upon a ...

(Philadelphia, PA) – Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered the mechanism that facilitates how two ion channels collaborate in the control of electrical ...

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 ...

Like Emotiv’s Project Epoc, OCZ’s Neural Impulse Actuator turns your brain into a video game controller. The headband’s neural sensors are located up front, reading your neural activity the same way ...

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 years ...
