An analysis of a thermal afferent pathway in the rat
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.

Visual and Electrosensory Circuits of the Diencephalon in Mormyrids [PDF]
Mormyrids are one of two groups of teleost fishes known to have evolved electroreception, and the concomitant neuroanatomical changes have confounded the interpretation of many of their brain areas in a comparative context, e.g., the diencephalon, where ...

Integration of sensory quanta in cuneate nucleus neurons in vivo.
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

Soleus H-reflex Excitability Changes in Response to Sinusoidal Hip Stretches in the Injured Human Spinal Cord [PDF]
Imposed static hip stretches substantially modulate the soleus H-reflex in people with an intact or injured spinal cord while stretch of the hip flexors affect the walking pattern in lower vertebrates and humans.

Parallel thalamic pathways for whisking and touch signals in the rat. [PDF]
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.

The spino-bulbar-cerebellar pathway: organization and neurochemical properties of spinal cells that project to the lateral reticular nucleus in the rat [PDF]
In addition to classical spinocerebellar pathways, the cerebellum receives information from the spinal cord indirectly via spino-bulbar-cerebellar systems. One of the structures in this pathway is the lateral reticular nucleus (LRt).

The Effect of Sham Feeding on Neurocardiac Regulation in Healthy Human Volunteers
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.

Regulation of peripheral inflammation by spinal p38 MAP kinase in rats. [PDF]
BackgroundSomatic afferent input to the spinal cord from a peripheral inflammatory site can modulate the peripheral response. However, the intracellular signaling mechanisms in the spinal cord that regulate this linkage have not been defined.

Understanding neurodegenerative changes of the afferent visual pathway in MS [PDF]
The chronic involvement of the afferent visual system in multiple sclerosis (MS) is a powerful model to understand the temporal course and functional relevance of neurodegeneration because it is very well distinguishable from neighboring structures and offers quantifiable structural and functional metrics.
