MANHASSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Researchers at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have developed a groundbreaking new method for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) that offers unprecedented ...

A complex system of nerves and muscles enables the human eye to blink, gaze, and shift focus. The trochlear nerve is one of six cranial nerves that carry electrical impulses from the brain to the eye.

The scientists conducted their experiments on isolated spinal cords removed from adult guinea pigs. Researchers fused the cut nerve fibers using a polymer called PEG. Electrical impulses were restored ...
