Why Nerve Cells Are the Hungriest in Your Body
A single motor neuron can stretch from your spine to your toe. Keeping a cell that long powered and signaling is one of the most demanding jobs in human bi

The Science of “Nerve Static” and the 130-Year-Old Molecule Giving Overworked Nerves Their Power Back
Nerve cells burn more energy than almost any cell in the body. Researchers say that's exactly why they misfire first, and why a 130-year-old hospital compound is suddenly at the center of the nerve-health conversation.
