Association of dietary and nutrient patterns with systemic inflammation in community dwelling adults
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022 PurposeEvidence investigating associations between dietary and nutrient patterns and inflammatory biomarkers is inconsistent and scarce. Therefore, we aimed to determine the association of dietary and nutrient patterns with inflammation.MethodsOverall, 1,

Role of the Sympathetic Nervous System and Its Modulation in Renal Hypertension
Frontiers in Medicine, 2018 The kidneys are densely innervated with renal efferent and afferent nerves to communicate with the central nervous system. Innervation of major structural components of the kidneys, such as blood vessels, tubules, the pelvis, and glomeruli, forms a ...

Etiology of phantom limb syndrome: Insights from a 3D default space consciousness model [PDF]
, 2015 In this article, we examine phantom limb syndrome to gain insights into how the brain functions as the mind and how consciousness arises. We further explore our previously proposed consciousness model in which consciousness and body schema arise when ...

Dissecting the Role of Subtypes of Gastrointestinal Vagal Afferents
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Gastrointestinal (GI) vagal afferents convey sensory signals from the GI tract to the brain. Numerous subtypes of GI vagal afferent have been identified but their individual roles in gut function and feeding regulation are unclear.

Mechanisms Underlying Overactive Bladder and Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 The bladder is innervated by extrinsic afferents that project into the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, providing sensory input to the micturition centers within the central nervous system.
