Pathology of the cochlear nerve may result from inflammation, infection, injury, or a tumor (acoustic neuroma). Rarely, people are born without a cochlear nerve or with a shortened one. The cochlear ...

The facial nerve and its branches regulate a number of functions of the mouth and face ... and the extratemporal segment branches into the nerves that control the face. Minor differences in the ...

The next question was how this relates to nerve cell function. If a nerve cell produces a protein that can detect heat, does that mean that the nerve cell responds to heat? The current study is ...

An international team led by the Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden has visualized the structure and function of primary cilia ...

The next question was how this relates to nerve cell function. If a nerve cell produces a protein that can detect heat, does that mean that the nerve cell responds to heat? The current study is ...

Rarely, people are born without a cochlear nerve or with a shortened one. The cochlear nerve is purely a sensory nerve (it ...

The next question was how this relates to nerve cell function. If a nerve cell produces a protein that can detect heat, does that mean that the nerve cell responds to heat? The current study is the ...

molecules essential for cell membrane stability and function. This gene is critical in producing red blood cells and may ...

One reason for this may be that our understanding of how it works in humans is inadequate. The current study is the first to link gene expression in different types of nerve cells with their actual ...

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by a progressive loss of nerve cells leading to a decline in memory and cognition. A team of researchers at KU Leuven and VIB explored the molecular sequence ...
