Neural prostheses use charge recovery mechanisms to ensure the electrical stimulus is charge balanced. Nucleus cochlear implants short all stimulating electrodes between pulses in order to achieve ...

The disruption of axons—the thread-like part of nerve cells that transmits electrical signals—is associated with Alzheimer's disease. One way axonal function may be hindered is through damage ...

The ipsilateral fibers from the anterior cochlear nuclei establish these connections and, from the nuclei of the facial nerves, axons innervate the stapes muscles. Thus, in neurodegenerative diseases, ...

It has been reported that stimulating nociceptive unmyelinated C nerves (C) near the sarcolemma could induce the secretion of endogenous opioids that relieve chronic pain. However, a substantial ...
