Peripheral Nerves
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Peripheral Nerves'The nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, including the autonomic, cranial, and spinal nerves. Peripheral nerves contain non-neuronal cells and connective tissue as well as axons. The connective tissue layers include, from the outside to the inside, the epineurium, the perineurium, and the endoneurium. Common names: Peripheral Nerves; Nerve, Peripheral; Nerves, Peripheral; Peripheral Nerve; Perineurium; Perineuriums; Endoneurium; Endoneuriums; Epineurium; Epineuriums |

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of tai chi chuan exercise on peripheral nerve modulation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. DESIGN: Parallel group comparative study with a pre- and post- design. SUBJECTS: Twenty-eight participants with ... Read more...
Muscle contractions guide rohon-beard peripheral sensory axons.
19 Oct 2009 Multiple molecular cues guide neuronal axons to their targets during development. Previous studies in vitro have shown that mechanical stimulation also can affect axon growth; however, whether mechanical force contributes to axon guidance in vivo is ... Read more...
29 Sep 2009 In open or video-assisted thoracic surgery, injury to one to four intercostal sensory nerves is a well-recognized complication. This nerve damage is a well-defined cause for chronic postoperative pain. In this discussion, the motor innervation of ... Read more...
