Unmasking of latent synaptic connections in the cortex of the rat, elicited by a facial nerve transection [PDF]

, 2001
Peripheral nerve injury elicits plastic changes in the cortex, resulting in reorganization of the somatotopic representation maps. These processes begin within minutes after nerve injury, and last for weeks.

Pain Intensities

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent philosophical work on pain distinguishes a variety of pain qualities and the mechanisms that give rise to them, but pain intensity remains a monolithic notion difficult to account for in reductive terms. The reason for this difficulty is that pain intensity is not a unitary phenomenal magnitude; pain is a complex experience featuring ...

All Is Relative—A Call for Considering “Physiologically Informed” Control Conditions to Improve the Mechanistic Understanding of the Effects of Physical Exercise on Cognition

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is a growing interest in elucidating the mechanisms that drive the benefits of physical exercise on cognitive performance. A key element for a better understanding of a particular phenomenon (e.g., the mediators of the exercise‐cognition interaction) is the selection of an appropriate control condition/group as the basis for causal ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Confined spaces in space: Cerebral implications of chronic elevations of inspired carbon dioxide and implications for long‐duration space travel

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cerebrovascular regulation is critically dependent upon the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2${P_{{\mathrm{aC}}{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}$), owing to its effect on cerebral blood flow, tissue PCO2${P_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}$, tissue proton concentration, cerebral metabolism and cognitive and neuronal ...

Differential intestinal injury and unchanged systemic inflammatory responses to leg and whole‐body passive hyperthermia in healthy humans

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperthermia can cause intestinal injury, facilitating endotoxin translocation and an inflammatory response that has been associated with heat illness. However, the potential occurrence of these responses has been incompletely reported during passive hyperthermia, and the independent effect of hyperthermia is equivocal.

Influences of transcutaneous electrical stimulation of cutaneous and mixed nerves on subcortical and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials

, 1989
Aim of this study was to assess whether transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) 'gates' somatosensory evoked potentials (EPs) peripherally or centrally, and which afferent fibres and sensory nuclei mediate this effect.

Modulation of cerebral blood flow and cognition by hyperthermia and hypoxia: An electroencephalographic event‐related potentials perspective

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is essential for sustaining neuronal metabolism and cognitive performance; however, the precise relationship between perfusion and cognition remains unclear. Although ageing and disease are associated with progressive declines in CBF and cognitive impairment, the acute effects of altered CBF under environmental ...

Passive thigh heating improves peak force production in younger adults and early isokinetic force production in younger and older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults often suffer from reduced physical capability relative to young adults, in part due to impaired muscle function. This study investigated the ergogenic effects of passive thigh heating on knee extensor torque production in healthy older versus younger adults.
