  3. Nerve conduction velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_velocity

    Electrical impulses are sent through one electrode to stimulate the nerve. The second electrode records the impulse sent through the nerve as a result of stimulation. The time difference between stimulation from the first electrode and pickup by the downstream electrode is known as the latency. Nerve conduction latencies are typically on the ...

  4. What to Know About Vagus Nerve Stimulation for IBD - AOL

    Patients could benefit from electrical stimulation of the body’s longest nerve. ... a device is put into the chest to stimulate the vagus nerve with electrical impulses. With a non-invasive ...

  5. Electroanalgesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroanalgesia

    Electroanalgesia is a form of analgesia, or pain relief, that uses electricity to ease pain.Electrical devices can be internal or external, at the site of pain (local) or delocalized throughout the whole body.

  6. Law of specific nerve energies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_specific_nerve_energies

    Here is Müller's statement of the law, from Handbuch der Physiologie des Menschen für Vorlesungen, 2nd Ed., translated by Edwin Clarke and Charles Donald O'Malley: . The same cause, such as electricity, can simultaneously affect all sensory organs, since they are all sensitive to it; and yet, every sensory nerve reacts to it differently; one nerve perceives it as light, another hears its ...

  7. Nerve conduction study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_study

    Nerve conduction studies are beneficial to diagnose certain diseases of the nerves of the body. The test is not invasive, but can be painful due to the electrical shocks administered during the test. The shocks are associated with a low amount of electric current, so they pose minimal risk to the patients.

  8. Mechanoreceptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanoreceptor

    Stretching an intrafusal fiber initiates a volley of impulses in the sensory neuron (a I-a neuron) attached to it. The impulses travel along the sensory axon to the spinal cord where they form several kinds of synapses: Some of the branches of the I-a axons synapse directly with alpha motor neurons. These carry impulses back to the same muscle ...

  9. Transduction (physiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transduction_(physiology)

    The decrease in the electrochemical gradient causes a reduction in the electrical signals going to the brain. Thus, in this example, more light hitting the photoreceptor results in the transduction of a signal into fewer electrical impulses, effectively communicating that stimulus to the brain.
