Four in every 10 cancer patients treated with chemotherapy develop severe peripheral nerve pain, a new review suggests.

Worldwide, cancer chemotherapy is linked to persistent severe peripheral nerve pain (neuropathy) for around 4 in every 10 patients treated with these drugs, suggests a pooled data analysis of the ...

Each octopus arm has a massive nervous system, with more neurons combined across the eight arms than in the animal's brain. These neurons are concentrated in a large axial nerve cord (ANC), which ...
