MACCURDY, in his stimulating book, “Common Principles in Psychology and Physiology”, has assailed the mechanistic interpretation of reflex function as incompatible with known facts. He ...

Studying the mechanism of vision with this extraordinarily ... Professor Chaffee and Professor Bovie discovered that all impulses passing along the optic nerve are rhythmical, that they go in ...

Injured peripheral nerve fibers give rise to an intense and ... now suggests that classifying neuropathic pain according to a mechanism-based rather than an etiology-based approach might help ...

Axon guidance is the pathfinding step that enables axons—the longest part of a neuron, through which the nerve impulse is propagated ... However, the underlying mechanisms were not yet fully ...

The interface itself had to solve the problem of picking up the extremely weak nerve impulses while simultaneously avoiding interference from mains hum and fluorescent lights. They go into detail ...

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so a different mechanism has to be used. Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ...

Dopamine is one of many types of neurotransmitter -- chemical signals that one neuron launches at its neighbor to trigger a nerve impulse. “Of all the neurotransmitters ... not by any means proven ...

We now have to change the way we classify, diagnose and treat neuropathic pain from an etiology-based to a mechanism-based approach ... Aβ-fibers: large-myelinated nerve afferents or pathways ...
