Effects of Noninvasive Cervical Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Cognitive Performance But Not Brain Activation in Healthy Adults

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Objectives While preliminary evidence suggests that noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) may enhance cognition, to our knowledge, no study has directly assessed the effects of nVNS on brain function and cognitive performance in healthy individuals.

Electromyographic correlates of effortful listening in the vestigial auriculomotor system

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Recently, electromyographic (EMG) signals of auricular muscles have been shown to be an indicator of spatial auditory attention in humans, based on a vestigial pinna-orienting system.

Intrinsic Auricular Muscle Zone Stimulation Improves Walking Parameters of Parkinson's Patients Faster Than Levodopa in the Motion Capture Analysis: A Pilot Study

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
It has been demonstrated that intrinsic auricular muscles zone stimulation (IAMZS) can improve the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who are examined with the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor scores. In the present

Learning beyond the lab: A gamified approach to anatomy education in a museum‐based experience

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Anatomy education, traditionally rooted in descriptive instruction and cadaveric dissection, is undergoing a significant transformation through the integration of educational technologies and contemporary pedagogical strategies. Among these, active learning methodologies, such as gamified‐based learning, have emerged as approaches designed to ...

Temporal Filling and Facial Lifting: Rethinking Expectations

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Temporal lifting using injectable fillers has gained considerable attention in facial esthetics, based on the anatomical principle that strategic volumization can produce lifting effects through mechanical transmission of forces. However, there is a significant gap between anatomical plausibility and clinical evidence.

Repairing whole facial nerve defects with xenogeneic acellular nerve grafts in rhesus monkeys

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
Acellular nerve allografts conducted via chemical extraction have achieved satisfactory results in bridging whole facial nerve defects clinically, both in terms of branching a single trunk and in connecting multiple branches of an extratemporal segment ...

Clinical Anatomy of the Left and Right Atrial Appendages in Humans: Comparative and Developmental Perspective

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.

Update of Korean Medicine Clinical Practice Guidelines for Obesity Management: An Evidence-Based GRADE Approach. [PDF]

Obesity (Silver Spring)
ABSTRACT Objective Obesity is a major health challenge associated with multiple chronic diseases. Korean traditional medicine (KM) offers diverse therapeutic approaches for obesity management. This study aims to update the Korean Medicine Clinical Practice Guidelines (KMCPGs) by incorporating recent evidence to improve the effectiveness of KM‐based ...

The Curious History of the External Petrosal Nerve: Did Citations Replace Observations?

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anatomical knowledge is founded on repeated observation, independent verification, and transmission through authoritative texts. Although this process typically strengthens scientific understanding, transmission through textbooks may occasionally perpetuate observations that have not undergone sustained empirical confirmation.

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.
