The 12 cranial nerves can be injured during head injuries, leading to symptoms like pain and weakness. Cranial nerve damage symptoms might appear right after an injury, or they may not show up until ...

Damage to the body's peripheral nerves can cause pain and movement disorders. Researchers have recently investigated how damaged nerves can regenerate better. They found that fat tissue strongly ...

Primate cranial diversity is the product of alternative evolutionary compromises among competing structural and functional demands on the cranium within divergent primate lineages. Superimposed on ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. Billions of nerve cells send signals coursing through our bodies, serving as conduits ...

The treatment of nerve injuries with the aid of nerve guidance conduits has led to the desired regenerative success in some, but by no means all, cases. In a recently published study, a research team ...

Researchers engineered the first injectable microtissue containing motor and sensory neurons encased in protective tissue, called tissue engineered neuromuscular interfaces (TE-NMIs). The TE-NMI ...
