Hypothalamus–Peripheral Organ Crosstalk in Energy Metabolism: A Bidirectional Regulatory Network [PDF]
Endocrinology and MetabolismSystemic energy balance depends on the hypothalamus, a central brain hub composed of specialized nuclei that detect circulating hormones, nutrients, and metabolites and coordinate endocrine and autonomic responses.

Molecularly diverse glycinergic interneurons in the medial deep dorsal horn are interposed between primary sensory afferents and spinal Shox2 interneurons [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural CircuitsAppropriate transmission of sensory afferent input from the peripheral nervous system to spinal locomotor circuits is crucial for efficient and adaptive locomotion. This is partly mediated by spinal interneurons (INs) that regulate afferent input relayed

Comparison of 3D model–based and slide-based teaching for afferent and efferent spinal cord pathways: a pre-test/post-test study [PDF]
BMC Medical EducationBackground Understanding the organization of afferent and efferent spinal cord pathways can be challenging for students due to their complex spatial relationships. This study aimed to develop a three-dimensional (3D) educational model demonstrating these

Lack of evidence for sprouting of Aβ afferents into the superficial laminas of the spinal cord dorsal horn after nerve section [PDF]
, 2003 The central arborizations of large myelinated cutaneous afferents normally extend as far dorsally as the ventral part of lamina II in rat spinal cord. Woolf et al. (1992) reported that after nerve injury some of these afferents sprouted into lamina I and

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.
