The obturator nerve is a large, multibranched nerve that travels through your pelvis to your inner thigh. This nerve helps you feel sensations like temperature and pain in your lower limbs. It also ...
Your brain gets all the glory while your other nervous system, the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) toils away in thankless obscurity. What’s the PNS? Oh, merely the neurons that live outside of your ...
Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...
Your peripheral nervous system (PNS) is crucial to navigating daily life. It lets you walk, controls your eye movements, and rings your brain’s alarms when you step on a Lego brick. Yet researchers ...
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 ...
