Electrical Stimulation of Afferent Pathways for the Suppression of Pathological Tremor [PDF]
Pathological tremors are involuntary oscillatory movements which cannot be fully attenuated using conventional treatments. For this reason, several studies have investigated the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation for tremor suppression. In a recent study, however, we found that electrical stimulation below the motor threshold also suppressed ...

Visceral Afferent Pathways and Functional Brain Imaging [PDF]
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 ...

Splanchnic and Pelvic Spinal Afferent Pathways Relay Sensory Information From the Mouse Colorectum Into Distinct Brainstem Circuits. [PDF]
The distal colon and rectum (colorectum) are innervated by two distinct spinal (splanchnic and pelvic) afferent nerve pathways. This study aimed to identify where the sensory information relayed by splanchnic and pelvic afferents integrates within the ...

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?
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.

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 ...

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]
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.
