Although PEG fusion is an exciting area in nerve repair, it remains unclear whether physical axon fusion occurs and directly impacts the fate of distal axon segments. While several studies have shown ...

For each condition, individual segments were grouped and averaged per field ... the number of branches and the number of junctions in each neuron. The values of each individual cell were used to ...

The second lumbrical-interosseous technique (2-LINT) test, which compares the conduction speed of equidistant nerve segments of the median and ulnar nerves, deserves special mention, as this test ...

Some patients with GBS show the absence of F waves as an isolated conduction abnormality, which has been interpreted as demyelination in the proximal nerve segments. METHODS In 62 consecutive patients ...

Facial nerve paralysis describes weakness in the muscles on one or both sides of your face that causes an inability to smile, blink, or control other facial movements. It happens when the facial nerve ...

Various diseases can be treated by stimulating the vagus nerve in the ear with electrical signals. However, this technique does not always work. A study has now shown: The electrical signals must ...
