Novel Approach to Elucidate Human Baroreflex Regulation at the Brainstem Level: Pharmacological Testing During fMRI [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Introduction: Brainstem nuclei govern the arterial baroreflex, which is crucial for heart rate and blood pressure control. Yet, brainstem function is difficult to explore in living humans and is therefore mostly studied using animal models or postmortem ...

Transcription factors regulating the specification of brainstem respiratory neurons
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Breathing (or respiration) is an unconscious and complex motor behavior which neuronal drive emerges from the brainstem. In simplistic terms, respiratory motor activity comprises two phases, inspiration (uptake of oxygen, O2) and expiration (release of ...

Robust Machine Learning-Based Correction on Automatic Segmentation of the Cerebellum and Brainstem. [PDF]
, 2016 Automated segmentation is a useful method for studying large brain structures such as the cerebellum and brainstem. However, automated segmentation may lead to inaccuracy and/or undesirable boundary.

Autonomic dysfunction in epilepsy mouse models with implications for SUDEP research
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 Epilepsy has a high prevalence and can severely impair quality of life and increase the risk of premature death. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of death in drug-resistant epilepsy and most often results from respiratory ...

Opioid suppression of an excitatory pontomedullary respiratory circuit by convergent mechanisms
eLife, 2023 Opioids depress breathing by inhibition of interconnected respiratory nuclei in the pons and medulla. Mu opioid receptor (MOR) agonists directly hyperpolarize a population of neurons in the dorsolateral pons, particularly the Kölliker-Fuse (KF) nucleus ...
