For the first time, scientists have recreated the entire human nervous system’s pain circuit in the lab — from the skin’s nerve endings to the somatosensory cortex of the brain.

Already, human brain and spinal cord organoids are used to study neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases, but they often mimic one part of the central nervous system and are disorganized.

Chemical chatter from resident bacteria in the gut can hit the brain and nervous system in real time, shaping behavior and ...

A Personal View published in The Lancet Oncology challenges the long-standing perception of metastatic brain cancer, calling to recognize it as a distinct central nervous system (CNS) disease ...

A team of scientists at the University of Michigan, Weizmann Institute of Science and the University of Pennsylvania recently developed the first full model of the early embryonic central nervous ...

"No one has been able to show this level of brain control that produces a natural gait, where the human's nervous system is controlling the movement, not a robotic control algorithm," Herr said.

Post this Myelin is produced by nerve cells and serves to insulate nerve fibers and enhances the transmission and speed of nerve impulses essential for proper nervous system function.

Herr noted that there were no records in the past that demonstrated a degree of brain control simulating natural movement, "where the human nervous system directs the motion, not a robotic algorithm." ...
