Overview

Denervation is the loss or interruption of the nerve supply to a muscle, organ, or tissue, depriving it of the signals it normally receives from the nervous system. It can result from injury, disease, surgery, aging, or deliberate medical intervention, and its effects depend on the structure involved. When a muscle loses its motor nerve supply, it typically becomes weak and gradually wastes away, a process known as denervation atrophy, and it may show abnormal electrical activity detectable on electromyography. Denervation can also be applied therapeutically, for example to interrupt pain pathways or to reduce abnormal nerve activity in selected conditions. The diagnosis and study of denervation rely on neurological examination, electrophysiological testing, and imaging, and recovery depends on whether and how well nerve supply can be restored or compensated for. As a topic centered on the consequences of disrupted nerve supply and its diagnosis and management, denervation falls within the scope of Neurological Research and Therapy. Research relevant to the journal includes work on diagnostic nerve blocks and on neurological conditions affecting muscle and sensory function, reflecting its coverage of nerve injury, dysfunction, and treatment. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to denervation and neurological function.
