The nervous system is a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons that transmit signals between different parts of the body. It is essentially the body's electrical wiring.

The peripheral nervous system is the part of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord. It consists of nerves that carry information between the central nervous system and the ...

Your body has two primary nervous systems: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Your central nervous system is made up of your brain and spinal cord. It’s the system ...

There are two main endocannabinoid receptors: CB1 receptors, which are mostly found in the central nervous system CB2 receptors, which are mostly found in your peripheral nervous system ...

One curiosity discovered by the group is that NPY has completely different effects on body weight when it is in the central nervous system and when it is in the peripheral nervous system.

While research has long shown that the central nervous system is affected by aging, much less was known about how aging influences the peripheral nervous system, which includes sensory neurons in ...

The peripheral nervous system also regenerates more than the central nervous system, due in part to its glial cells — a characteristic that, if better understood, might be used to improve the ...

For example, if you step on something sharp, the nerves in your foot send a message through neurons to your central nervous ... brain and body. Your peripheral nervous system is further divided ...
