Neuronal regulation of the gut immune system and neuromodulation for treating inflammatory bowel disease

open access: yesFASEB BioAdvances, 2021
The gut immune system in the healthy intestine is anti‐inflammatory, but can move to a pro‐inflammatory state when the gut is challenged by pathogens or in disease.

Bioengineered Interfaces for Peripheral Nerve Sensory Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Half of amputees abandon their prosthetics for lack of feeling. This review charts the full path from peripheral nerve injury to restored sensation, through surgical, regenerative, noninvasive, and implanted approaches, and shows how injury type and interface material properties determine which strategy can deliver naturalistic feedback, and why ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 reduces pancreatic β-cell mass through hypothalamic neural pathways in high-fat diet-induced obese rats

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
We examined whether glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) affects β-cell mass and proliferation through neural pathways, from hepatic afferent nerves to pancreatic efferent nerves via the central nervous system, in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rats.

A fuzzy controller for movement stabilization using afferent control: Controller synthesis and simulation

open access: yesJournal of Medical Signals and Sensors, 2017
Stimulation of spinal sensorimotor circuits can improve motor control in animal models and humans with spinal cord injury (SCI). More recent evidence suggests that the stimulation increases the level of excitability in the spinal circuits, activates ...

Afferent convergence to a shared population of interneuron AMPA receptors

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Precise alignment of pre- and postsynaptic elements optimizes the activation of glutamate receptors at excitatory synapses. Nonetheless, glutamate that diffuses out of the synaptic cleft can have actions at distant receptors, a mode of transmission ...

Afferent Neuronal Control of Type-I Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Neurons in the Human. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Understanding the regulation of the human menstrual cycle represents an important ultimate challenge of reproductive neuroendocrine research. However, direct translation of information from laboratory animal experiments to the human is often complicated ...

A Pathway to Reconciliation within ‘North American’ Archaeology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
As we begin to enter an era of reconciliation in archaeology, we must look at the foundation upon which the discipline has been built and start to dismantle the colonial ideologies which have been embedded within. A number of new practices and approaches

Toward Perception‐Native Electronic Skin: Bio‐Inspired In‐/Near‐Sensor and Neuromorphic Computing for Humanoid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

Somatic influences on subjective well-being and affective disorders: the convergence of thermosensory and central serotonergic systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
Current theories suggest that the brain is the sole source of mental illness. However, affective disorders, and major depressive disorder (MDD) in particular, may be better conceptualized as brain-body disorders that involve peripheral systems as well ...

Descending pathways from hypothalamus to dorsal motor vagus and ambiguus nuclei in the rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The anatomical pathways between the hypothalamus and cell groups of the lower medulla that are involved in the neural control of endocrine pancreas activity were investigated.
