Our main goal in neuroscience is advancing the understanding of the human nervous system and the mechanisms behind its disorders. However, many invasive ...

Nervous system diseases and disorders are highly prevalent and substantially contribute to the overall disease burden. Despite significant information provided by the use of animal models in the ...

However, a close look at Cambrian-age (541 million years to 485 million years ago) fossils of Scalidophora, a subgroup of Ecdysozoa found in marine environments, has revealed the source of these ...

Their nervous system consisting of the brain ... particularly in segmented animals. During the Precambrian-Cambrian transition, changes in the nervous and muscular systems were likely tied ...

An animal that never moved could possess a relatively simple sensory system. It would need receptors to detect environmental changes, and a nervous system capable of interpreting the information.

The nervous system enables humans to react to their surroundings and to coordinate their behaviour. It comprises millions of neurones and uses electrical impulses to communicate very quickly.

Based on the examination, the problem can be traced to, for example, a specific area of the brain, the peripheral nervous system or part of the spine. Any necessary further investigations are then ...
