Virtual brain endocasts of the palaeanodont Metacheiromys marshi and the neurosensory evolution of early Pholidotamorpha

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 821-846, October 2026.
We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The development of the orbital gyrus might be related to the evolution of myrmecophagy and the emergence of a protrusile tongue in early Pholidotamorpha ...

Electrical stimulation decreases neuralgic pain after trigeminal deafferentation [PDF]

, 2008
Trigeminal nerve activity mediates head pain after cranial injuries, and also contributes to idiopathic syndromes such as cluster headache and trigeminal neuralgia. Nevertheless, chronic facial pain sometimes develops after lesion of the trigeminal nerve.

A microcontroller system for investigating the catch effect: Functional electrical stimulation of the common peroneal nerve

, 2006
Correction of drop foot in hemiplegic gait is achieved by electrical stimulation of the common peroneal nerve with a series of pulses at a fixed frequency.

Hypoglossal Nerve

, 2014
The hypoglossal nerve is the final of the cranial nerves. It is essential for supplying the muscles of the tongue being a somatic motor nerve. Arising from the brainstem at the level of the medulla, it passes through its own canal—the hypoglossal canal ...

The ansa cervicalis and superior cervical ganglion contribute to the fiber composition of the human hypoglossal nerve and its branches

Scientific Reports
The hypoglossal nerve is considered a pure motor nerve. Yet, there are indications that it contains sensory and sympathetic fibers in the periphery. We analyzed changes in the fiber composition along the human hypoglossal nerve, delineating the pathways ...

Severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in relation to hypoglossal nerve dysfunction

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014
Background: Many researchers studied treatment of OSAS by hypoglossal nerve (HGN) stimulation with conflicting results, however few studies addressed the role of HGN dysfunction in the pathogenesis of OSAS.

Relationship of Nocturnal Insomnia Symptoms and Outcomes After Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation

OTO Open
Objective In patients undergoing hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS), we examined the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) to understand how baseline sleep onset insomnia (SOI), sleep maintenance insomnia (SMI), and early morning awakening (EMA) affected ...
