Machine learning powered tools for automated analysis of muscle sympathetic nerve activity recordings

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2021
Automated analysis and quantification of physiological signals in clinical practice and medical research can reduce manual labor, increase efficiency, and provide more objective, reproducible results.

Single-unit muscle sympathetic nerve activity reflects sleep apnea severity, especially in severe obstructive sleep apnea patients.

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2016
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with augmented sympathetic nerve activity, as assessed by multi-unit muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA).

Intracranial Pressure Is a Determinant of Sympathetic Activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure within the cranium. ICP rise compresses brain vessels and reduces cerebral blood delivery. Massive ICP rise leads to cerebral ischemia, but it is also known to produce hypertension, bradycardia and respiratory ...

A Focused Review of Neural Recording and Stimulation Techniques With Immune-Modulatory Targets

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
The complex interactions established between the nervous and immune systems have been investigated for a long time. With the advent of small and portable devices to record and stimulate nerve activity, researchers from many fields began to be interested ...

On the number of preganglionic neurones driving human postganglionic sympathetic neurones: a comparison of modelling and empirical data

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2011
Postganglionic sympathetic axons in awake healthy human subjects, regardless of their identity as muscle vasoconstrictor, cutaneous vasoconstrictor or sudomotor neurones, discharge with a low firing probability (~30%), generate low firing rates (~0.5 Hz)

Auricular Vagus Neuromodulation—A Systematic Review on Quality of Evidence and Clinical Effects

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Background: The auricular branch of the vagus nerve runs superficially, which makes it a favorable target for non-invasive stimulation techniques to modulate vagal activity.

Fast encoding/decoding of haptic microneurography data based on first spike latencies

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2009
During haptic exploration tasks, forces are applied to the fingertips, which constitute the most sensitive parts of the hand and are prominently involved in object manipulation/ recognition tasks.

Advances in sympathetic nerve recording in humans

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2012
Sympathetic nerve recording is commonly assessed by measuring the firing activity of a number of neurones. While the estimation of overall sympathetic nervous activity using this multiunit recording approach has advanced our understanding of sympathetic ...

High-resolution imaging of skin deformation shows that afferents from human fingertips signal slip onset

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Human tactile afferents provide essential feedback for grasp stability during dexterous object manipulation. Interacting forces between an object and the fingers induce slip events that are thought to provide information about grasp stability.
