"Together with the simultaneous recording of responses from peripheral nerves, the brainstem and the cortex, our multi-channel spinal cord electrophysiology method provides the missing building block ...

In research published today in Nature, the team at the Crick looked for electrical activity in human and mouse SCLC samples, aiming to determine whether such activity may underpin the ...

“A single neuron is very small -- only 10 to 100 micrometers -- and when it fires, its action potential (the spike in electrical activity) only lasts about two milliseconds,” Liu says. Certain ...

Evoked potential tests can help doctors see if this is happening to you. The tests measure the electrical activity in parts of the brain caused by light, sound, and touch. They can help doctors ...

That's according to a new study which found that a certain vestigial ear muscle — one that perks up ears in animals — actually shows electrical activity when people engage in a difficult ...

Shifts in electrical activity are known to take place in various cells in the human body, such as those in the heart that facilitate blood flow and the neurons that coordinate the many functions ...

Before a solar eclipse, trees synchronize their internal signals, guided by ancient ones with long-held environmental ...

Researchers have developed a non-invasive, reusable 'ECG vest' that takes high-resolution images of the heart's electrical activity in five minutes. Combining its data with cardiac MRI scans can ...

This is the first study to look at the impact of phenol exposure on cardiac electrical activity in humans." Hong-Sheng Wang, PhD, Professor in the Department of Pharmacology, Physiology and ...

A seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain that causes involuntary movements or a loss of consciousness. Seizures may occur due to medication or trauma that damages the brain.

A scene from “Epiphany Machine” at Virginia Tech. The electroencephalography caps track the brain’s electrical activity as the dancers perform. The trees are visualizations of the activity ...
