DR. ALCOCK, in his recent paper at the Royal Society, finds the rate of transmission of nerve impulses in man to be 66 metres per second. Sir Michael Foster, in his “Physiology” (1888, part i. p. 76), ...

The original nerve impulse findings were that the rate of impulse firing governed the impact on neuronal targets, whether they be muscle or other neurons. Various labs, including my own, in the 1980s, ...

A DISCUSSION on the transmission of effects from the ends of nerve fibres occupied an afternoon session of Section I (Physiology) of the British Association on September 9. Sir Henry Dale introduced ...

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 years, ...

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 ...

The molecular targets of organophosphate and carbamate pesticides are cholinesterases, particularly acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that controls the transmission of nerve impulses at synapses. In the ...

One of the greatest, relatively underappreciated, discoveries in all of science was the discovery of the nerve impulse in the 1930s by the British Lord Adrian. Adrian did win a Nobel Prize for his ...

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 ...
