Topographical Patterns of Slow Wave Activity in Sleep Talking: An Exploratory Polysomnographic Investigation

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep talking (ST) is a parasomnia characterized by the utterance of unaware linguistic activations during sleep. Electrophysiological evidence is scarce, and it remains unclear whether local electroencephalographic (EEG) alterations characterize the sleep of STs outside of parasomnia episodes. Findings from NREM parasomnias suggest that local

Alterations to longitudinal muscle morphology and mechanical function following immobilization and recovery in female ovariectomized and intact rats

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Serial sarcomere number (SSN) is reduced following immobilization of a muscle in a shortened position in male rodents thereby impairing muscle contractile function. However, in female rodents the effects of oestrogen on SSN and mechanical changes following immobilization and re‐ambulation are unknown.

Pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors mediate sustained sympathoexcitation during high altitude hypoxia in humans

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sympathetic nervous system activation is a hallmark of high‐altitude hypoxia, yet the afferent mechanisms remain incompletely defined. We examined the relative contributions of pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors and carotid chemoreceptors – two excitatory pathways co‐activated by hypoxia – to sustained sympathoexcitation at altitude.

Pressure‐dependent coupling between arterial pressure and intercostal muscle blood‐flow index during acute hypotension in humans

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Regulation of respiratory muscle blood flow during acute systemic hypotension remains poorly understood in humans because continuous assessment of microvascular perfusion during rapid haemodynamic transients has been technically challenging. Using diffuse correlation spectroscopy, we investigated second‐by‐second coupling between mean arterial

Marked C‐tactile afferent suppression by a plastic film does not proportionately diminish pleasantness of gentle brushing

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Human skin contains several classes of mechanoreceptive afferents that encode mechanical stimulation. For example, C‑tactile (CT) afferents are suggested to signal the pleasant aspects of gentle touch and are activated effectively by slow brushing of hairy skin.
