Your nervous system is made up of two main parts: the brain and the spinal cord, which combine to form the central nervous system; and the sensory and motor nerves, which form the peripheral nervous ...

and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS is located in the skull and vertebral canal of the spine. It includes the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. The sensory and motor nerves that ...

Sensory neurons can also support complex movements like picking up utensils, providing feedback to muscles and joints to enable precise movements. Motor neurons carry impulses away from the central ...

By Telma Sagnard, Brice Picot, and Nicolas Forestier The quality of vision or hearing differs from one person to another.

Findings on cephalopod nerve cords highlight segmentation's role in sucker movement control, advancing knowledge of neural ...

The suckers are also packed with sensory receptors that allow the octopus to taste and smell things that they touch—like combining a hand with a tongue and a nose. The researchers believe the ...

The gut microbiome plays a vital role in immune system regulation, and any disruption in its balance has been associated with ...

and the peripheral nervous system (motor nerves, sensory nerves, cranial and spinal nerves, autonomic ganglia, and plexuses). A multi-ancestry genome-wide study of 158,036 people with bipolar ...

The large nerve cord that runs along each octopus arm is divided into segments, allowing for precise movement control and ...

It consists of nerves that carry information between the central nervous system and the extremities of the body. Body-to-brain communication profoundly affects physiology and behaviour.

New research has revealed that the nervous system circuitry that controls ... facilitates this complex sensory-motor ability. To see if this kind of structure is common to other soft-bodied ...
