TRPV1 marks synaptic segregation of multiple convergent afferents at the rat medial solitary tract nucleus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 TRPV1 receptors are expressed on most but not all central terminals of cranial visceral afferents in the caudal solitary tract nucleus (NTS). TRPV1 is associated with unmyelinated C-fiber afferents.

Modulation of gastrointestinal vagal neurocircuits by hyperglycemia
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013 Glucose sensing within autonomic neurocircuits is critical for the effective integration and regulation of a variety of physiological homeostatic functions including the co-ordination of vagally-mediated reflexes regulating gastrointestinal functions ...

The Renal Nerves in Chronic Heart Failure: Afferent and Efferent Mechanisms
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 The function of the renal nerves has been an area of scientific and medical interest for many years. The recent advent of a minimally invasive catheter-based method of renal denervation has renewed excitement in understanding the afferent and efferent ...

An analysis of a thermal afferent pathway in the rat
The Journal of Physiology, 1982 1. Single unit activity has been recorded in the thalamic, hypothalamic and raphe magnus nuclei of rats anaesthetized with Urethane.2. Neurones were sought which responded to changes in scrotal skin temperature applied with a water‐perfused brass thermode.

Sex-specific vagal and spinal modulation of breathing with chest compression.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Lung volume is modulated by sensory afferent feedback via vagal and spinal pathways. The purpose of this study was to systematically alter afferent feedback with and without a mechanical challenge (chest compression). We hypothesized that manipulation of

Integration of sensory quanta in cuneate nucleus neurons in vivo.
PLoS ONE, 2013 Discriminative touch relies on afferent information carried to the central nervous system by action potentials (spikes) in ensembles of primary afferents bundled in peripheral nerves. These sensory quanta are first processed by the cuneate nucleus before

The Effect of Sham Feeding on Neurocardiac Regulation in Healthy Human Volunteers
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007 BACKGROUND: Distension and electrical stimuli in the esophagus alter heart rate variability (HRV) consistent with activation of vagal afferent and efferent pathways. Sham feeding stimulates gastric acid secretion by means of vagal efferent pathways.

Parallel thalamic pathways for whisking and touch signals in the rat. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2006 In active sensation, sensory information is acquired via movements of sensory organs; rats move their whiskers repetitively to scan the environment, thus detecting, localizing, and identifying objects.

Gravity‐Dependent Modulation of Downbeat Nystagmus: Insights From Velocity‐Storage Dysfunction
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Downbeat nystagmus varies with head position, a phenomenon termed gravity‐dependent modulation. We aimed to clarify its mechanism using a velocity‐storage model. Methods In 10 patients with downbeat nystagmus due to cerebellar disorders, we recorded eye movements at different pitch‐ and roll‐axis head positions.
