which can spread to other connected nerve networks, causing chronic pain. This study also found that over 100 neurons fired simultaneously, shedding light on the specific neural pathways involved in ...

The nerve pathway was 19 times out of 20 in the subpiriformis canal. In all cases the pathway was identical, with an oblique and vertical portion running down through the ischio-trochanteric channel.

The vagus nerve is one of the biggest nerves connecting your gut and brain. It sends signals in both directions. Your gut and brain are also connected through chemicals called neurotransmitters.

These molecules encourage the survival and growth of neurons, helping to rebuild damaged nerve pathways. Exosomes, tiny vesicles secreted by stem cells, are also gaining attention for their ability to ...

This program is designed to assess the function of cranial nerves and deep tendon reflexes through a series of simple yes/no questions. The responses help to evaluate whether a patient’s neurological ...
