This press release is available in German. On average, a single square centimeter of human skin contains over 300 receptors that register pain, pressure, heat or cold. Twenty-four hours a day, these ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that functional nervous systems can form within self-organized living ...

Others, however, believed that the peripheral nervous system (nerves that connect the body's extremities to the brain) played a larger role, as nerves in the moving limbs produced feedback signals ...

Pioneering research has given a fascinating fresh insight into how animal nervous systems evolved from simple structures to become the complex network transmitting signals between different parts of ...

Octopuses are not much like humans — they are invertebrates with eight arms, and more closely related to clams and snails. Still, they have evolved complex nervous systems and are capable of a wide ...

The immune system may play a fundamental role along with the central nervous system in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as 'Lou Gehrig's disease,' researchers report. The immune system ...
