In this work we demonstrate for the first time that reticulospinal tract (RST) excitability can be indirectly measured using conditioned cervicomedullary motor evoked potentials (CMEPs) during dynamic muscle actions. Although there were no differences in RST excitability across isometric, concentric and eccentric muscle actions during the same absolute

Normal Breathing Pattern and Arterial Blood Gases in Awake and Sleeping Goats after Near Total Destruction of the Presumed Pre-Bötzinger Complex and the Surrounding Region [PDF]
Abrupt neurotoxic destruction of \u3e70% of the pre-Bötzinger complex (preBötzC) in awake goats results in respiratory and cardiac failure (Wenninger JM, Pan LG, Klum L, Leekley T, Bastastic J, Hodges MR, Feroah TR, Davis S, Forster HV. J Appl Physiol 97:

Joint-specific changes in locomotor complexity in the absence of muscle atrophy following incomplete spinal cord injury [PDF]
ackground Following incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI), descending drive is impaired, possibly leading to a decrease in the complexity of gait. To test the hypothesis that iSCI impairs gait coordination and decreases locomotor complexity, we collected ...

State-Dependent and -Independent Effects of Dialyzing Excitatory Neuromodulator Receptor Antagonists into the Ventral Respiratory Column [PDF]
Unilateral dialysis of the broad-spectrum muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine (50 mM) into the ventral respiratory column [(VRC) including the pre-Bötzinger complex region] of awake goats increased pulmonary ventilation (V̇i) and breathing frequency (

The Search for Optimal Management of Head Injury [PDF]
Head injuries of sufficient severity to bring the patient to a hospital occur in more than one per hundred of the population every year. The toll in death and disability is staggering: the majority of patients are young wage-earners with families so that

Neuroendocrine control of satiation [PDF]
Eating is a simple behavior with complex functions. The unconscious neuroendocrine process that stops eating and brings a meal to its end is called satiation. Energy homeostasis is mediated accomplished through the control of meal size via satiation.
