The Laryngeal Auditory Startle Reflex (LASR): A New Component of the Auditory Startle Response

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The auditory startle reflex contains a distinct laryngeal component, termed the laryngeal auditory startle reflex (LASR). In healthy adults, the LASR is modulated by supratentorial influences and habituates to repetitive stimuli. Physiologic and pathologic implications for the LASR as a component of the overall human SR remain to be determined but may ...

Afferent pathways of lymph flow within the popliteal node in sheep

, 1986
Lymph enters the popliteal node in sheep either at the subcapsular sinus, or through terminal afferent lymphatics which pass within trabeculae to medullary sinuses. Lymph from the subcapsular sinus traverses trabecular sinuses and/or a network of tubular

Neural pathways of a cardiogenic hypertensive chemoreflex

, 1978
Excitation of a cardiac chemoreceptor with 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) produces a complex autonomic reflex which includes hypertension, changes in heart rate and contractile force, and disturbances of AV conduction.

Endoscopic Suture Ligation and Sclerotherapy for Pharyngolaryngeal Venous Malformation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated suture ligation combined with sclerotherapy in 53 patients with pharyngolaryngeal venous malformations. A single procedure achieved complete resolution in 79.25% of cases, with no serious complications or need for prophylactic tracheostomy.

Validation of the TruBlue Light Laser for Laryngeal Somatosensory and Perturbation Testing

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study validates a blue light laser method for assessing laryngeal somatosensory function by measuring perceptual thresholds, reflexive responses, discrimination acuity, and vocal perturbations in healthy adults. Results demonstrate that the method provides precise, reliable stimulation and yields quantifiable sensory and acoustic responses ...

Whole-brain long-range connectivity of glutamatergic, GABAergic, parvalbumin-expressing and somatostatin-expressing neurons in mouse somatosensory cortex

Neuroscience Research
Understanding the composition of cortical circuits at the whole-brain scale is crucial. However, the specific ways in which particular neuronal types in the primary somatosensory cortex (SSp) establish connections with upstream and downstream brain ...

Modulation of spinal circuits following phase-dependent electrical stimulation of afferent pathways

Objective. Peripheral electrical stimulation (PES) of afferent pathways is a tool commonly used to induce neural adaptations in some neural disorders such as pathological tremor or stroke. However, the neuromodulatory effects of stimulation interventions

The Inhibitory Role of Acetylcholine and Muscarinic Receptors in Bladder Afferent Activity

, 2010
Background The main treatment for overactive bladder (OAB) is the use of anticholinergic drugs initially believed to inhibit the effect of parasympathetic acetylcholine (ACh) on the detrusor; however, there is now evidence to suggest that ...

Pregabalin Efficacy in Treatment of Chronic Neurogenic Cough

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The use of neuromodulators for chronic cough has increased; however, the choice of medication, dosing regimen, and duration are still unclear. This longitudinal study of 95 adults taking pregabalin, 75 mg twice daily, for CNC demonstrated 78% improvement or resolution of cough, 17% unchanged, 1% worse cough, with a mean of 6 weeks of therapy, and only ...
