Inter-strain differences of serotonergic inhibitory pain control in inbred mice [PDF]

Molecular Pain, 2010
Background: Descending inhibitory pain control contributes to the endogenous defense against chronic pain and involves noradrenergic and serotonergic systems.

Locomotor pattern generation and descending control: a historical perspective [PDF]

, 2023
The ability to generate and control locomotor movements depends on complex interactions between many areas of the nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, and the environment. How the nervous system manages to accomplish this task has been the subject

Brainstem neural mechanisms controlling locomotion with special reference to basal vertebrates

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2023
Over the last 60 years, the basic neural circuitry responsible for the supraspinal control of locomotion has progressively been uncovered. Initially, significant progress was made in identifying the different supraspinal structures controlling locomotion

Shifting the Balance: How Top-Down and Bottom-Up Input Modulate Pain via the Rostral Ventromedial Medulla

Frontiers in Pain Research, 2022
The sensory experience of pain depends not only on the transmission of noxious information (nociception), but on the state of the body in a biological, psychological, and social milieu.

An early midbrain sensorimotor pathway is involved in the timely initiation and direction of swimming in the hatchling Xenopus laevis tadpole

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022
Vertebrate locomotion is heavily dependent on descending control originating in the midbrain and subsequently influencing central pattern generators in the spinal cord. However, the midbrain neuronal circuitry and its connections with other brainstem and

Descending control of motor sequences in Drosophila. [PDF]

Curr Opin Neurobiol
The descending neurons connecting the flys brain to its ventral nerve cord respond to sensory stimuli and evoke motor programs of varying complexity. Anatomical characterization of the descending neurons and their synaptic connections suggests how these ...

Synaptic mechanisms of top-down control in the non-lemniscal inferior colliculus

eLife, 2022
Corticofugal projections to evolutionarily ancient, subcortical structures are ubiquitous across mammalian sensory systems. These ‘descending’ pathways enable the neocortex to control ascending sensory representations in a predictive or feedback manner ...

Anti-Hebbian Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity and Adaptive Sensory Processing

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2010
Adaptive processing influences the central nervous system's interpretation of incoming sensory information. One of the functions of this adaptative sensory processing is to allow the nervous system to ignore predictable sensory information so that it may

Descending serotonergic controls regulate inflammation-induced induced mechanical sensitivity and methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 phosphorylation in the rat superficial dorsal horn [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Regulation of pain states is, in part, dependent upon plastic changes in neurones within the superficial dorsal horn. There is also compelling evidence that pain states are under the control of descending projections from the brainstem. While

Acoustic input and efferent activity regulate the expression of molecules involved in cochlear micromechanics

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015
Electromotile activity in auditory outer hair cells (OHCs) is essential for sound amplification. It relies on the highly specialized membrane motor protein prestin, and its interactions with the cytoskeleton. It is believed that the expression of prestin
