Afferent neuronal control of type-I gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in the human

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Understanding the regulation of the human menstrual cycle represents an important ultimate challenge of reproductive neuroendocrine research. However, direct translation of information from laboratory animal experiments to the human is often complicated ...

Neurons and circuits for odor processing in the piriform cortex [PDF]

, 2013
Increased understanding of the early stages of olfaction has lead to a renewed interest in the higher brain regions responsible for forming unified ‘odor images’ from the chemical components detected by the nose.

Exaggerated Pressor Response in Relation to Attenuated Muscle Temperature Response during Contraction in Ischemic Heart Failure

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
It is known that muscle temperature (Tm) increases with exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine if contraction-induced increase in Tm was altered in rats with heart failure (HF) induced by chronic myocardial infraction (MI) as compared with ...

The Inhibitory Tendon-Evoked Reflex Is Increased in the Torque-Enhanced State Following Active Lengthening Compared to a Purely Isometric Contraction

Brain Sciences, 2019
Residual torque enhancement (rTE) is a history-dependent property of muscle, which results in an increase in steady-state isometric torque production following an active lengthening contraction as compared to a purely isometric (ISO) contraction at the ...

TMC4 localizes to multiple taste cell types in the mouse taste papillae

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Transmembrane channel‐like 4 (TMC4), a voltage‐dependent chloride channel, plays a critical role in amiloride‐insensitive salty taste transduction. TMC4 is broadly expressed in all mature taste cell types, suggesting a possible involvement of multiple cell types in this pathway.

Stimulatory Effect of 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on Rat Capsaicin-Sensitive Lung Vagal Sensory Neurons via Activation of 5-HT3 Receptors

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is an inflammatory mediator known to be released in lung. Capsaicin-sensitive lung vagal (CSLV) afferents function as a primary sensor for detecting chemical stimuli and produce consequent reflexes during lung inflammation.

Type II spiral ganglion afferent neurons drive medial olivocochlear reflex suppression of the cochlear amplifier. [PDF]

, 2015
The dynamic adjustment of hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity is mediated by the medial olivocochlear efferent reflex, which suppresses the gain of the 'cochlear amplifier' in each ear.

Brainstem and Cerebellar Volume Loss and Associated Clinical Features in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative ‘tauopathy’ with predominating pathology in the basal ganglia and midbrain. Caudal tau spread frequently implicates the cerebellum; however, the pattern of atrophy remains equivocal.

Modulation of Neurally Mediated Vasodepression and Bradycardia by Electroacupuncture through Opioids in Nucleus Tractus Solitarius. [PDF]

, 2018
Stimulation of vagal afferent endings with intravenous phenylbiguanide (PBG) causes both bradycardia and vasodepression, simulating neurally mediated syncope.

FeDSNP‐Pa Nanoassemblies: A Triple‐Action Therapeutic Strategy Targeting Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Pyroptosis for Retinal Ganglion Cell Protection in Glaucoma

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
FeDSNP‐Pa, a metallized nanoparticle loaded with sodium pyruvate (Pa), exerts triple therapeutic effects by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), suppressing inflammatory responses, and inhibiting pyroptosis signaling pathways. This multifunctional neuroprotective strategy protecting retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from elevated intraocular pressure ...
