Analyzing molecular changes in two types of peripheral nerves that are affected in diabetic peripheral neuropathy – the sural, which carry sensory signals, and the tibial, which carry both sensory and ...

A deep-learning model trained on optical coherence tomography scans of the optic nerve head reliably distinguished among various types of optic nerve damage, such as glaucoma, non-arteritic anterior ...

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a condition in which diabetes mellitus damages nerves in the body, leading to chronic pain, affects roughly 37 million people in the United States and 460 million ...

The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...

A new study published in the journal Brain Stimulation shows that high electrical frequency stimulation can activate specific nerve fibers in the body MANHASSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electrically ...

Prolonged, often disabling, small-fiber neuropathy in long COVID may be caused by a defective immune response, a small longitudinal study suggested. Peripheral neuropathy was identified in 59% of 17 ...

Researchers have used synchrotron light to study what happens to the nerves in diabetes. The technique shows the 3D-structure of nerve fibers in very high resolution. In an international collaboration ...

From oats to beans to chicory root, each type of fiber acts differently inside the body. New research is revealing how fiber ...

Optic atrophy is a condition in which the optic nerve begins to deteriorate. The optic nerve is the nerve at the back of your eye that connects your eye to your brain, allowing you to see. There are a ...
