Visceral Afferent Pathways and Functional Brain Imaging [PDF]

The Scientific World Journal, 2003
The application of functional imaging to study painful sensations has generated considerable interest regarding insight into brain dysfunction that may be responsible for functional pain such as that suffered in patients with irritable bowel syndrome ...

The Cortical Response Evoked by Robotic Wrist Perturbations Reflects Level of Proprioceptive Impairment After Stroke

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Background: Proprioception is important for regaining motor function in the paretic upper extremity after stroke. However, clinical assessments of proprioception are subjective and require verbal responses from the patient to applied proprioceptive ...

Is Spasticity in Acquired Brain Injury a Sensory Problem?

Indian Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2023
There is clinical and physiological evidence that presynaptic inhibition and sensory afferent pathways have an effect on what is considered a primarily upper motor neurone problem.

Baseline Cerebro-Cerebellar Functional Connectivity in Afferent and Efferent Pathways Reveal Dissociable Improvements in Visuomotor Learning

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Visuomotor coordination is a complex process involving several brain regions, primarily the cerebellum and motor cortex. Studies have shown inconsistent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) results in the cerebellar cortex and ...

Sensory Afferent Renal Nerve Activated Gαi2 Subunit Proteins Mediate the Natriuretic, Sympathoinhibitory and Normotensive Responses to Peripheral Sodium Challenges

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
We have previously reported that brain Gαi2 subunit proteins are required to maintain sodium homeostasis and are endogenously upregulated in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) in response to increased dietary salt intake to maintain a salt ...

Afferent Pathway-Mediated Effect of α1 Adrenergic Antagonist, Tamsulosin, on the Neurogenic Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury [PDF]

International Neurourology Journal, 2017
Purpose The functions of the lower urinary tract (LUT), such as voiding and storing urine, are dependent on complex central neural networks located in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral ganglia.

Neuropharmacological targets for drug action in vestibular sensory pathways [PDF]

, 2017
The use of pharmacological agents is often the preferred approach to the management of vestibular dysfunction. In the vestibular sensory pathways, the sensory neuroepithelia are thought to be influenced by a diverse number of neuroactive substances that ...

Innervation of the Nose and Nasal Region of the Rat: Implications for Initiating the Mammalian Diving Response

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018
Most terrestrial animals demonstrate an autonomic reflex that facilitates survival during prolonged submersion under water. This diving response is characterized by bradycardia, apnea and selective increases in peripheral vascular resistance. Stimulation

Improvement of lung ischemia–reperfusion injury by inhibition of microRNA-155 via reductions in neuroinflammation and oxidative stress of vagal afferent nerve

Pulmonary Circulation, 2020
Lung ischemia–reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a common clinical concern. As the injury occurs, the pulmonary afferent nerves play a key role in regulating respiratory functions under pathophysiological conditions.
