A new study has rewritten the conventionally understood evolutionary history of certain ion channels -- proteins critical for electrical signaling in the nervous system. The study shows that the ...

A new study shows that a part of the nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system, is formed in a way that is different from what researchers previously believed. In this study a new phenomenon ...

The nervous system is formed of two parts that are integrally linked with each other. The brain and the nervous system has multiple functions that are vital for normal functioning of the body. A nerve ...

Nerve cells in the brain establish connections or synapses to form complex electrical circuits that keep people thinking and moving. Despite the importance of these synapses in mediating the flow of ...

When a person is at rest, meditating or reading a book, the parasympathetic nervous system is at work. Also known as the "rest and digest" system, the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for ...

Physical activity places an increased demand on a person’s cardiovascular capabilities. This activity relies heavily on cardiovascular health and regulation by the autonomic nervous system 1.

New research finds that common nervous system components are present in the gastrointestinal tract where they influence tumour growth, revealing untapped opportunities for cancer treatment. GLOBAL: ...

In biology, the nervous system is a highly complex part of an animal that coordinates its actions and sensory information by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body. The nervous ...
