Functional evidence for cone-specific connectivity in the human retina [PDF]
, 2009 NoPhysiological studies of colour vision have not yet resolved the controversial issue of how chromatic opponency is constructed at a neuronal level. Two competing theories, the cone-selective hypothesis and the random-wiring hypothesis, are currently ...

Varicella-zoster virus reactivation from multiple ganglia: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2009 Introduction Simultaneous involvements of multiple cranial nerve ganglia (geniculate ganglion and peripheral ganglia of cranial nerves VIII, IX and X) by varicella-zoster virus and its subsequent activation may result in the characteristic eruptions of ...

HSV-1 not only in human vestibular ganglia but also in the vestibular labyrinth [PDF]
, 2001 Reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in the vestibular ganglion (VG) is the suspected cause of vestibular neuritis (VN). Recent studies reported the presence of HSV-1 DNA not only in human VGs but also in vestibular nuclei, a finding that ...

Insulin-Like Growth Factors Are Expressed in the Taste System, but Do Not Maintain Adult Taste Buds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Growth factors regulate cell growth and differentiation in many tissues. In the taste system, as yet unknown growth factors are produced by neurons to maintain taste buds.

Stellate ganglion block can relieve symptoms and pain and prevent facial nerve damage
Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2015 Ramsay hunt syndrome [1] is a varicella zoster virus infection of the geniculate ganglion of the facial nerve. It is typically associated with a red rash and blister (inflamed vesicles or tiny water filled sacks in the skin) in or around the ear and ...

N-cadherin acts in concert with Slit1-Robo2 signaling in regulating aggregation of placode-derived cranial sensory neurons [PDF]
, 2009 Vertebrate cranial sensory ganglia have a dual origin from the neural crest and ectodermal placodes. In the largest of these, the trigeminal ganglion, Slit1-Robo2 signaling is essential for proper ganglion assembly.

Recent Advances in Understanding Peripheral Taste Decoding I: 2010 to 2020 [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021 Taste sensation is the gatekeeper for direct decisions on feeding behavior and evaluating the quality of food. Nutritious and beneficial substances such as sugars and amino acids are represented by sweet and umami tastes, respectively, whereas noxious ...

Spike rate and spike timing contributions to coding taste quality information in rat periphery
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2011 There is emerging evidence that individual sensory neurons in the rodent brain rely on temporal features of the discharge pattern to code differences in taste quality information.
