Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The scientists also ...

The rhythm in a working heart is regulated by electrical impulses. Disturbances of this bioelectrical process can result in cardiac arrhythmias, or irregularities in heartbeat -- a common ailment that ...

With newer convictions, researchers estimate over a hundred billion neurons existing in our brains that share a certain type of communication with one another by the exchange of electrical impulses ...

Reentry arrhythmia occurs when electrical signals in the heart deviate from their usual path, creating a loop that causes repeated stimulation and disrupts the heart’s rhythm. Symptoms of reentry ...

What happens in the brain when a person experiences the characteristic movement symptoms of Parkinson's disease? Researchers around the world are seeking answers through various approaches. One of ...

Electrical impulses applied to a particular branch of the vagus nerve could be used in the future to reduce complications of arterial hypertension. These are the results of a research conducted, on ...

A heart shock may restore the heart’s rhythm and is a potential treatment for atrial fibrillation (AFib). Doctors also refer to heart shock as electrical cardioversion. In AFib, a person has an ...

The “wires” that carry electrical signals among nerve cells in the brain can influence the threshold at which the cells will send those signals, research on mouse-brain tissue shows. The finding ...

E-stim therapy involves using mild electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, which can increase blood flow and promote relaxation, but its effectiveness for RA symptom relief is not ...

Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...
