COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have solved a longstanding mystery of the central nervous system, showing how a key protein gets to the right spot to launch electrical impulses that enable communication ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism that facilitates how two ion channels collaborate in the control of electrical signals in the brain. The investigators showed that the channels were anchored ...

For over 15 years, ETH Professor Andreas Hierlemann and his group have been developing microelectrode-array chips that can be used to precisely excite nerve cells in cell cultures and to measure ...

As these field potentials reach the scalp, they produce the signal we call an electroencephalogram. Field potentials are technologically easier to record than individual nerve impulses, but more ...

ETH researchers have developed a new generation of microelectrode- array chips for measuring nerve impulses, enabling studies of how thousands of nerve cells interact with each other. For over 15 ...

Many of us will have seen robotics or prosthetics operated by the electrical impulses detected from a person’s nerves, or their brain. In one form or another they are a staple of both mass-market ...

Your muscles move when nerve signals from the brain tell them to get to work. Electromyography (EMG), a diagnostic test, measures how well your muscles respond to those signals. Movement is a complex ...
