This is the second in a series of articles explaining - using plain English - what exactly are the electrical impulses in your brain responsible for how it learns, represents, and processes ...

The rhythm in a working heart is regulated by electrical impulses. Disturbances of this bioelectrical process can result in cardiac arrhythmias, or irregularities in heartbeat -- a common ailment that ...

A new study published in PNAS Nexus explores the role of the dynamin protein DYN-1 in axonal fusion. The axon is a long, thin protrusion of nerve cells that carries electrical impulses. Severed axons ...

Your body is an amazing biological machine and it s electric. Every heartbeat, thought, and movement depends on tiny electrical impulses running through your body. You might not feel them, but these ...

Electrical impulses applied to a particular branch of the vagus nerve could be used in the future to reduce complications of arterial hypertension. These are the results of a research conducted, on ...

The rhythm in a working heart is regulated by electrical impulses. Disturbances of this bioelectrical process can result in cardiac arrhythmias, or irregularities in heartbeat—a common ailment that ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

Reentry arrhythmia occurs when electrical signals in the heart deviate from their usual path, creating a loop that causes repeated stimulation and disrupts the heart’s rhythm. Symptoms of reentry ...

Second-degree heart block is a potentially serious but treatable condition affecting the heart’s electrical system. Treatment may require a pacemaker to stabilize the heart’s rhythm. Electrical ...

People with third degree heart block have an irregular heartbeat due to a total blockage of the electrical impulses that control the heart’s activity. It can lead to faintness and breathing difficulty ...
