Neurophysiology is a discipline within the health sciences that deals with the measurement and assessment of nervous system function, rather than the anatomy of the nervous system. This field helps to ...

Researchers have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, they found unexpected potassium channels that give the ...

A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test is used to assess nerve damage and dysfunction. Also known as a nerve conduction study, the procedure measures how quickly electrical signals move through your ...

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 ...

New research describes a key molecular mechanism in nerve fibers that ensures the rapid conductance of nervous system impulses. New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School ...

A nerve conduction velocity test measures the speed of electrical impulses passing through the nerves of the body. In this article, learn about how a nerve conduction velocity or NCV test is used, ...

UNTIL Prof. Kato had contributed this most important monograph to the study of the nervous system, it had been held generally that a nerve impulse passing through a length of nerve which had been ...

Dr. Justin Grant, DO, a fellowship-trained sports medicine provider at Colorado Advanced Orthopedics (CAO), is certified in nerve conduction study (NCS) and needle electromyography (EMG). NCS ...
