Researchers have found the first evidence that stomach nerves act as a clock that limits eating to specific times of the…
The application of radio currents can help reduce the level of blood pressure in patients with severe hypertension, according…
Researchers have been able to restore mobility in paralysed rats using a technique called deep brain stimulation. This involved delivering electrical impulses to an area of the brain called the mesencephalic…
A method for restoring feeling and action to amputees and others who have lost their sense of touch has been established through research published in Proceedings of National Academy of Science (PNAS…
Scientists have used weak electrical shocks on the brain to make the human face seem more attractive. California Institute…
Electric stimulation to certain areas of the brain has been used to release mu-opioid, an opiate-like substance that alters…
Technology adapted from inkjet printers could soon be used to print living human cells onto biodegradable polymer scaffolds…
Scientists have constructed a mathematical model which predicts how nerve fibres make connections during brain development…
The nervous system of the common roundworm is being used to study nerve-based conditions and nerve degeneration with the…
A newly developed neuroprosthesis allows paralysed limbs to move voluntarily by sending messages from the brain to the muscles…
Prosthetic limbs could soon connect with patients’ nerves, allowing increased agility and even restoring a basic sense of…
A new way of repairing severed nerves in humans may be closer to reality thanks to observing how invertebrates repair nerve…
If you put a group of people on a calorie-restricted diet, you’ll see that some seem to lose weight easily, while others struggle to shed each pound. This difference doesn’t just come down to how much…
Welcome to the sixth and final part of _On the Brain, a Conversation series by people whose job it is to know as much as there is to know about the body’s most complex organ. Here, Professor Malcolm Horne…
A new biomaterial has been shown to encourage regrowth of damaged nerve cells in the brain and spinal chord. Xyloglucan is…
