Myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibers, plays a crucial role in brain communication. It ensures fast and efficient ...

Demyelinating diseases are a group of disorders of the nervous system that involve loss of the myelin sheath that normally surrounds the neurons. Demyelinating diseases can affect both the central ...

Scientists have discovered a natural compound that can halt a key process involved in the progression of certain cancers and demyelinating diseases—conditions that damage the protective myelin sheath ...

Inflammatory demyelination resulting in optic neuritis is a major manifestation ... However, there is a lack of evidence on whether this is simply because the parvocellular neurons predominate in the ...

This is expected to help protect neurons and aid in the generation of myelin by oligodendrocytes. In animal models of demyelination, CNM-Au8 treatment resulted in a significantly higher energetic ...

These are frequently the acute or demyelinating polyneuropathies, but neurotoxins and nutritional neuropathies also can impair vibration sense or position sense, although these disorders commonly ...

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is also called acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP ... are done to evaluate and diagnose disorders of the muscles and motor neurons. Electrodes ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost ...

A study led by Dr. Rodrigo Quian Quiroga, group leader of the Neural Mechanisms of Perception and Memory Research Group at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, has allowed scientists to observe ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain.
