Alexandra Byrne, PhD, assistant professor of neurobiology, is working to identify which genes control how the nervous system responds to injury. Specifically, the Byrne lab at UMMS is working to ...

Damages to the central nervous system (CNS), for example in the case of spinal cord injury, can result in permanent loss of sensory and motor function. It is because the severed axons are unable ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Axons are long, finger-like projections of neurons that transmit critical signals throughout the nervous system. But because they are fragile, they are often among the first casualties ...

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which also includes the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system activates what is ...

Axon regeneration and central nervous system repair represent critical frontiers in neuroscience research, offering promise for restoring communication and function after injury. Following trauma ...

Here are the secrets of how your nervous system passes messages with amazing speed and accuracy. Top image: Case Western Reserve University Neurons are unique-looking little cells.

The Zika virus wreaks havoc in the central nervous system well after the initial stages of pregnancy and can use long axon projections of neurons to spread, a new Yale School of Medicine study ...
