Your muscles move when nerve signals from the brain tell them to get to work. Electromyography (EMG), a diagnostic test, measures how well your muscles respond to those signals. Movement is a complex ...

A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test is used to assess nerve damage and dysfunction. Also known as a nerve conduction study, the procedure measures how quickly electrical signals move through your ...

Neurophysiology is a discipline within the health sciences that deals with the measurement and assessment of nervous system function, rather than the anatomy of the nervous system. This field helps to ...

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 ...

A nerve conduction velocity test measures the speed of electrical impulses passing through the nerves of the body. In this article, learn about how a nerve conduction velocity or NCV test is used, ...

Scientists have successfully used frozen human cells taken from nerve tissue to restore nerve conduction in an animal model of multiple sclerosis. Scientists have successfully used frozen human cells ...

Team of neurobiologists from Münster University publish their findings on the evolution of the glial sheath and rapid transmission of signals in neurons An animal’s brain consists of two different ...
