Cranial nerves XIII and XIV: nerves in the shadows

It has been known for over a century that these cranial nerves exist, and that they are not typographical errors nor a sensational event reported in the medical literature. A number of scientific articles on anatomy highlight how textbooks on descriptive anatomy do not always consider variables such as differences related to the geographical areas where people live, and these differences do exi...

Connect the Nerves

Making more brain dults make new brain cells. But where do those nerve cells come from? New findings suggest that a subpopulation of glia—the brain's filler material—act as the all-important neuronal precursors. Even more startling, a widespread glial cell type called the astrocyte can be converted into a neuronal precursor by the expression of a single gene. " These astrocytes are not viewed a...

The Physics of Nerves

The accepted model for nerve pulse propagation in biological membranes seems insufficient. It is restricted to dissipative electrical phenomena and considers nerve pulses exclusively as a microscopic phenomenon. A simple thermodynamic model that is based on the macroscopic properties of membranes allows explaining more features of nerve pulse propagation including the phenomenon of anesthesia t...

The Way with the Nerves

as for the sick, and most of all, perhaps, for the student of human nature. It is written in the form of letters, intimate, self-revealing letters from the patient, and very understanding, sane, frank and helpful replies from the physician. The ailments treated include sick headache, neurasthenia, psychasthenia, epilepsy, depression, hysteria, dipsomania, dual personality, and mental retardatio...
