The researchers found that participants with lower sensory function scores — thus, greater levels of impairment — had significantly increased risk of both dementia and cognitive decline (both ...

The vagus nerve is the longest of the 12 cranial nerves. Here, learn about its anatomy, functions, and the kinds of health problems that can occur.

Its main function is transmitting sensory information to the skin, sinuses, and mucous membranes in the face. The nerve communicates touch, pain, and temperature to the brain.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation restores upper limb sensory-motor functions and body representations in chronic stroke survivors. Med, 2022; DOI: 10.1016/j.medj.2021.12.001 ...

The functions of the cranial nerves are sensory, motor, or both. Sensory cranial nerves help a person see, smell, and hear. Motor cranial nerves help control muscle movements in the head and neck.

Unlike neurons in the brain or spinal cord, sensory nerves in the periphery of the body heal after injury, which is why a gash on your leg doesn't leave part of your leg permanently numb.

Preserved scales from the tail of Juravenator— a small predatory dinosaur that lived 150 million years ago in what is now Germany—contain small bumps that scientists believe are sensory organs.

Human embryonic stem cell-derived progenitors assist functional sensory regeneration after dorsal root avulsion injury. Hoeber J, Trolle C, König N, Du Z, Gallo A, Hermans E, Aldskogius H ...
