To coax human nerve cells in a laboratory to thrive, there are three magic words: location, location, location. Many experiments grow human nerve cells in lab dishes. But a new study enlists some real ...

Once described by a 16th-century anatomist as the "shameful member," the clitoris has historically been ignored in research ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

New research from Oregon Health & Science University found over 10,000 nerve fibers in the marble-sized human clitoris, the organ responsible for sexual pleasure in female bodies. Previous estimates, ...

Stimulating your vagus nerve is the latest wellness trend, but how do you actually do it? And is it actually helping?

In an astonishing breakthrough, scientists have discovered that a combination of spider and silk from a silkworm could be the key to repairing devastating nerve injuries. At the forefront of this ...

Researchers have used new imaging techniques to explore the function and structures of the neuro-cutaneous unit – the connection between the nervous system and the skin. The findings, published today ...

Nerve gases are often very potent, requiring highly sensitive sensors to detect them quickly and accurately. One method of boosting sensitivity combines human scent receptors with nanomaterials such ...

New research from OHSU looked at human tissue to try to understand how many nerve fibers are contained in the clitoris. It seems to be the first time that this has ever been studied (a previous ...
