A spinal cord injury in most vertebrates likely inhibits locomotion and induces paralysis—not so in eels. They not only ...

A neural circuit model tested in amphibious robots developed at EPFL shows how multisensory feedback enables eels to swim even after a spinal cord injury, while also providing new insights into the ...

The complexity of human movement stems from the central nervous system's ability to organize motion using modular control ...

Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease are characterized by the progressive loss ...

Researchers analyzed 139 neuroimaging studies spanning ages 5 to 85 to map the brain’s activity in cognitive control.

It was found that eels use sensory signals from their bodies, such as stretch and pressure, to adapt to their environment.

The human heart rate is under the influence of various hormonal and neural control mechanisms. Normally, conduction of an electrical impulse through the heart begins at the sinoatrial (SA) node and ...

As every bodybuilder knows, a deep, restful sleep boosts levels of growth hormone to build strong muscle and bone and burn ...
