A rabbit sensitized with myelin lipid galactocerebroside develops autoimmune demyelinating polyneuropathy. The nerve conduction study was performed prior to sensitization (a) and at the peak of limb ...

Motor nerve conduction is a noninvasive clinical test used to diagnose nerve problems. Current techniques use a single-site recording over a superficial muscle. But the investigators note that the ...

Dr. Paul Christo answers the question: 'What Are Nerve Conduction Studies?' — -- Question: What Are Nerve Conduction Studies And How Do I Know If I Need One? Answer: Nerve conduction studies ...

Researchers have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, they found unexpected potassium channels that give the ...

Neurophysiology is a discipline within the health sciences that deals with the measurement and assessment of nervous system function, rather than the anatomy of the nervous system. This field helps to ...

University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, for the first time ever, have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, ...

Your muscles move when nerve signals from the brain tell them to get to work. Electromyography (EMG), a diagnostic test, measures how well your muscles respond to those signals. Movement is a complex ...

Philadelphia, PA, August 13, 2014 – A new study published in The American Journal of Pathology identifies a novel gene that controls nerve conduction velocity. Investigators report that even minor ...

Dr. Justin Grant, DO, a fellowship-trained sports medicine provider at Colorado Advanced Orthopedics (CAO), is certified in nerve conduction study (NCS) and needle electromyography (EMG). NCS ...

What are nerve conduction tests? Nerve conduction tests are performed to evaluate the ability of nerves to conduct impulses and the speed thereof. Nerve conduction studies can indicate the extent of ...

A novel gene that controls nerve conduction velocity has been identified in a new study. Investigators report that even minor reductions in conduction velocity may aggravate disease in multiple ...
