Electrolytes are crucial for body processes such as conducting nerve impulses, contracting muscles ... moving more sodium ions (and the change in charge) along the length of the nerve cell ...

The rods in the peripheral retina are responsible for noncolor vision. The photoreceptors carry signal impulses along nerve cells to form the optic nerve. Most of the fibers of the optic nerve ...

Glycopyrrolate (Cuvposa), an anticholinergic agent, is a possible option. This medication blocks nerve impulses to the salivary glands so that they produce less saliva. Scopolamine (Hyoscine ...

May 28, 2025 — In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes ...

Repetitive peripheral magnetic nerve stimulation (rPMS) is a putative adjuvant therapy that improves the mobility of patients, but the underlying mechanism is not entirely clear. Results: The primary ...

The autonomic nervous system plays an important role in the modulation of cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmogenesis. Decades of research has contributed to a better understanding of the anatomy ...

Background— Increased central sympathetic activity and/or deficient peripheral sympathetic nerve function are among the proposed pathophysiological changes in patients with the postural tachycardia ...

An obvious reflex to look for is a “resistance reflex”, analogous to those of the more distal joints of crustacean legs2 and to the stretch reflexes of crayfish abdominal muscle receptors3 and ...

The effects of hexamethonium (20 mg/kg), capsaicin (125 mg/kg) and pelvic nerve section on colitis induced motility changes were evaluated. c-Fos expression was studied in the pelvic nerve dorsal root ...

The associated along-arc focusing of fluid flux is likely to cause higher average slip rate in certain patches. To test this hypothesis, we investigate how fluid migration is modified by along-strike ...
