The brain and body impacts of multiple sensory loss are poorly understood by science but strongly felt by the people who deal with them. Reading time 12 minutes When Renita Adams puts a pot on the ...

Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...

Following an injury, such as a traumatic crush injury, the peripheral nervous system is itself often able to effectively regenerate. This capacity of regeneration is mainly attributable to the Schwann ...

A new study demonstrated a brain-computer interface technology that enables spinal cord injury patients to walk with a ...

Emerging science shows that sensory dysfunction can increase the risk of dementia, and the new research presented at AAIC 2019 further demonstrates the impact of multiple co-occurring sensory ...

Challenging the classic view, two cognitive scientists argue in a new review that categorization is not a late, specialized stage of sensory processing. Instead, it is a core function operating at ...

The sural nerve, positioned beneath the skin’s surface in the back of your lower leg, plays a critical role in your body’s sensory network. As a component of the peripheral nervous system, this nerve ...

Our ability to feel a harmful touch or sense dangerous heat relies on specialized receptor proteins embedded in nerve cell membranes. But how do these receptors maintain their exquisite sensitivity?

The loss of sensory function in the lower lip, caused by the sacrifice or damage of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) during mandibulectomy, may no longer be an irreversible condition, according to a ...

If you experience weakness and a loss of fine motor function in your arms and hands after neck trauma, you may have a spinal cord injury called central cord syndrome. This type of injury can disrupt ...
