Macular retinal nerve fiber layer thickness may be a prognostic biomarker of cognitive decline in older individuals, according to a group of researchers. Perspective from Dilraj Grewal, MD, MBBS ...

Eye-exam_G_819479332 Thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer has been linked to worsening cognitive function and may be valuable in identifying individuals who may be at risk for cognitive ...

Hearing study: Each nerve fiber trains on it's own Date: March 10, 2024 Source: Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Summary: Axons that are regularly stimulated do not pass on increases in ...

Next, the researchers genetically altered mice to disable the nerves carrying information from the inner ear to the brain ("afferent" fibers), causing hearing loss.

Dr. Blair Peters is the first researcher to quantify nerve fibers in the human clitoris. He found an average of 10,280 nerve fibers across 7 clitorises. Commonly-cited research on cows found 8,000.

A cohort of patients with high myopia experienced significantly low levels of thinning in the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer in the temporal quadrant and macular retinal nerve fiber layer ...

Featured Small fiber neuropathy or small fiber sensory neuropathy affects the sensory nerves. It also affects the sweat glands, gastrointestinal system, blood vessels, and heart.

Small fiber neuropathy varies widely from mildly annoying to extremely painful. If the neuropathy causes an excessive amount of pain and impairs your ability to work, you may be eligible for ...

This new i2CS method overcomes this limitation by allowing precise targeting of specific fiber populations within the nerve. i2CS uses the principle of temporal interference, where two slightly ...
