Abstract Since the early 1900s, the terms body schema and body image denoted the internal representations of the body. Bonnier's (1905, Revue Neurologique, 13, 605) schema is a conscious spatial representation of the size, shape, and position of the body, and of body parts, whose dysfunction brings about aschématia, and hypo‐, hyper‐, and paraschématia.

Disorders of gut–brain interaction through the lens of polyvagal theory
This paper introduces a metric, vagal efficiency (VE), that tracks a brainstem “switching” mechanism regulating blood pressure's effect on vagal control of the heart and gut. Potentially offering insights into gut–brain interaction disorders. Abstract This paper introduces a metric capable of tracking a hypothetical brainstem “switching” mechanism ...

Updated insights into the molecular pathogenesis of canine atopic dermatitis
Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common and chronic inflammatory skin disease with frequent relapses. The genomics revolution has greatly contributed and revolutionised our knowledge of human AD; understanding the molecular skin fingerprint of AD and associated pathogenic immune pathways has led to preclinical assessments of several novel ...

Techniques for subretinal injections in animals
Abstract Subretinal injections are not commonly performed during clinical treatment of animals but are frequently used in laboratory animal models to assess therapeutic efficacy and safety of gene and cell therapy products. Veterinary ophthalmologists are often employed to perform the injections in the laboratory animal setting, due to knowledge of ...

ABSTRACT Objective To determine if the area of the canine optic nerve head (ONH) is related to the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. Animals Studied A total of 44 eyes of 22 adult normal laboratory Beagles. Procedures In this retrospective study, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) and spectral domain optical coherence

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

The evolution of muscle spindles
Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.

Abstract Nerve regeneration is associated with the plasticity of sensory neurons such that even muscle afferents directed to the skin form mechanosensitive receptive fields appropriate for the new target. STOML3 is an essential mechanotransduction component in many cutaneous mechanoreceptors. Here, we asked whether STOML3 is required for functional and

Exploring neuronal mechanisms of osteosarcopenia in older adults
Abstract figure legend The mechanosensitive osteocytic network within the bone matrix acts as a receptor and plays a crucial role in the functional adaptation of bone to mechanical loading. Through mechanotransduction, osteocytes convert mechanical impulses into electrical signals, which are transmitted via afferent nerves to sympathetic preganglionic ...
