That constant background noise from traffic, television, notifications, and conversations might be doing more than just distracting you. It could be fundamentally altering your nervous system and ...

Behold the entire nervous system of a mouse, revealed in unprecedented detail by turning the animal’s body completely transparent. This technique could help us better understand the workings of ...

Neuroscientists have developed a way to turn an entire mouse, including its muscles and internal organs, transparent while illuminating the nerve paths that run throughout its body. The process ...

Immune cells are normally associated with fighting infection but in a new study, scientists have discovered how they also help the nervous system clear debris, clearing the way for nerve ...

A new and versatile imaging technique enables researchers to trace the trajectories of whole nerve cells and provides extensive insights into the structure of neuronal networks. Lesions caused by ...

The nervous system was also well suited to the embryological method because as axons grow, they develop myelin sheaths—insulating layers of fat and protein—which repel the silver microcrystals ...

Previously, scientists were unsure exactly how the ventral nerve cord (a vital component of invertebrates’ central nervous system) developed in ecdysozoans. However, a close look at Cambrian-age (541 ...
