  2. Peripheral nerve interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_nerve_interface

    Successful implantation of peripheral nerve interfaces depend on a number of factors which include appropriate indication, perioperative testing, differentiated planning, and functional training. [5] Typically microelectrode devices are implanted adjacent to, around or within the nerve trunk to establish contact with the peripheral nervous ...

  3. Motor system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_system

    The motor system is the set of central and peripheral structures in the nervous system that support motor functions, i.e. movement. [1] [2] Peripheral structures may include skeletal muscles and neural connections with muscle tissues. [2]

  4. Peripheral nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_nervous_system

    The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is one of two components that make up the nervous system of bilateral animals, with the other part being the central nervous system (CNS). The PNS consists of nerves and ganglia , which lie outside the brain and the spinal cord . [ 1 ]

  5. Somatosensory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatosensory_system

    Stimulation of the receptors activate peripheral sensory neurons that convey signals to the spinal cord that may drive a responsive reflex, and may also be conveyed to the brain for conscious perception. Somatosensory information from the face and head enter the brain via cranial nerves such as the trigeminal nerve.

  6. Neuroanatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroanatomy

    The peripheral nervous system also contains afferent or efferent nerves, which are bundles of fibers that originate from the brain and spinal cord, or from sensory or motor sorts of peripheral ganglia, and branch repeatedly to innervate every part of the body.

  7. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system

    Unique to the olfactory and gustatory systems, at least in mammals, is the implementation of both peripheral and central mechanisms of action. [clarification needed] The peripheral mechanisms involve olfactory receptor neurons which transduce a chemical signal along the olfactory nerve, which terminates in the olfactory bulb.

  8. Neurostimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurostimulation

    Neurostimulation is the purposeful modulation of the nervous system's activity using invasive (e.g. microelectrodes) or non-invasive means (e.g. transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial electric stimulation, tES, such as tDCS or transcranial alternating current stimulation, tACS).

  9. Neural pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_pathway

    A neural pathway connects one part of the nervous system to another using bundles of axons called tracts. The optic tract that extends from the optic nerve is an example of a neural pathway because it connects the eye to the brain; additional pathways within the brain connect to the visual cortex.
