“Trans auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is one of the less invasive approaches to modulate brain function in neuropsychiatric and degenerative disorder.” Daniel Dautan posted on Bluesky, ...

A new study proves low-frequency infrasound hijacks inner ear support cells to create unique physical hum sensations.

To rapidly transmit electrical signals in the brain, the long nerve fibers are insulated by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells also respond to the electrical signals of active ...

Scientists at the University of Gothenburg have pinpointed a group of nerve cells in the brain stem that appear to be responsible for semaglutide’s appetite- and weight-controlling powers—without ...

Nerve fibres in the brain could produce pairs of particles linked by quantum entanglement. If backed by experimental observations, this phenomenon could explain how millions of cells in the brain ...

In order to understand brain diseases, neuroscientists try to untangle the intricate nerve fibre labyrinth of our brain. Before analysing brain tissue under a microscope, it is often soaked in ...

The vagus nerve sprawls from the brain through the body, innervating our organs and managing life support and emotion. Sally Caulwell for Quanta Magazine The original version of this story appeared in ...

Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, such as following a spinal cord injury, has made great strides in recent years. However, high-frequency stimulation pulses, which are used in many current ...
