Overview

Nerves are bundles of fibers that transmit electrical and chemical signals between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body, enabling sensation, movement, and the regulation of internal organs. Each nerve is made up of the elongated projections of neurons, called axons, often wrapped in a myelin sheath that speeds signal conduction. Nerves are broadly classified as sensory, carrying information from the body toward the central nervous system; motor, carrying commands outward to muscles and glands; or mixed, containing both. Together with the brain and spinal cord they form the nervous system, and damage or disease affecting nerves can cause pain, weakness, numbness, or loss of function. In the context of neuroimaging and clinical neuroscience, the study of nerves spans their anatomy, the mapping of their pathways, and the diagnosis of disorders that affect them. Research relevant to this journal reflects that breadth, including anatomical studies such as work on a communicating branch of the mental and facial nerves and on the morphology of the posterior tibial nerve, alongside investigations of peripheral neuropathy and nerve-related disease in varied clinical settings. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to nerves and the broader study of the nervous system.
