Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...

Functional-Optical Coherence Tomography: A Non-invasive Approach to Assess the Sympathetic Nervous System and Intrinsic Vascular Regulation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Sympathetic nervous system dysregulation and vascular impairment in neuronal tissue beds are hallmarks of prominent cardiorespiratory diseases. However, an accurate and convenient method of assessing SNA and local vascular regulation is lacking ...

The influence of force on the encoding and perception of affective touch

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend By combining perceptual experiments with neuronal recordings, we obtained ratings of perceived pleasantness and intensity during stroking touch applied at different velocities and forces and we recorded the single‐unit activity from seven C‐low‐threshold mechanoreceptors (C‐LTMRs) during similar tactile stimulation. We found that

Study protocol for microneurographic investigation of nociceptor sensitisation in fibromyalgia syndrome (MICRO-FMS)

Frontiers in Pain Research
IntroductionChronic pain in fibromyalgia may be driven by abnormal ongoing activity in a subclass of C-fibre nociceptors known as Type1B or CMi nociceptors.

Beyond the Heart‐Lung Axis: A Review of the Crosstalk Between the Hemodynamic, Neurohormonal, and Immune Systems in Pulmonary Hypertension

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 5, October 2026.
Pulmonary hypertension is driven by dynamic crosstalk beyond the physical connection between the heart and lung, involving neurohormonal systems, immune pathways, and peripheral organs. This review highlights how multisystem signaling contributes to disease progression and may reveal new diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Exercise and Autonomic Cardiovascular Function—Insights From Spinal Cord‐Injured Humans: A Narrative Review

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The cardiovascular response to acute exercise is mediated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) control mechanisms that modulate vascular resistance to support blood pressure and ensure adequate blood flow to active muscles. These autonomic neurocirculatory control mechanisms include a feedforward mechanism, known as central command, and three

An open computational toolbox to analyze multi- and single-unit sympathetic nerve activity in microneurography [PDF]

Microelectrode recordings from human peripheral and cranial nerves provide a means to study both afferent and efferent axonal signals at different levels of detail, from multi- to single-unit activity.

Microelectrode recordings from the human cervical vagus nerve during maximal breath‐holds

Experimental Physiology
Voluntary breath‐holds can be sustained for a long time following training, but ultimately, regardless of duration, the asphyxic break‐point is reached and the apnoea terminated.

MR microneurography and quantitative T2 and DP measurements of the distal tibial nerve in CIDP

, 2019
Objective: In this study we investigated the potential of magnetic resonance (MR) micro-neurography to detect morphological and relaxometric changes in distal tibial nerves in patients affected with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)

MR Micro-Neurography and a Segmentation Protocol Applied to Diabetic Neuropathy

Radiology Research and Practice, 2017
The aim of this study was to assess with MRI morphometric ultrastructural changes in nerves affected by diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). We used an MR micro-neurography imaging protocol and a semiautomated technique of tissue segmentation to ...
