Microneurography is a method that allows the researchers to listen to the nerve signalling in one nerve cell at a time. No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified three types of nerve cells connected to the intestinal villi, suggesting that previously unknown neural networks regulate fluid balance in the gut.

A group of nerve cells known for their role in detecting chemical irritation, tissue damage, heat, and pressure now emerge as critical defenders against the worst ravages of the flu caused by an ...

Until recently, most researchers assumed that the vagus nerve sent messages up to the brain from the GI tract using the equivalent of one northbound lane on a gut-to-brain communication superhighway.

A UCL research team has found clues as to why some nerve cells die in dementia and not others, in a new study in fruit flies. The Alzheimer’s Research UK-funded study, published in Cell Reports, is ...
