Relationship Between Optic Nerve Head Area and Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Laboratory Beagles

open access: yesVeterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
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.

The mechanotransduction protein STOML3 is required for proprioceptor plasticity following peripheral nerve regeneration

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
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

The modelling of the action potentials in myelinated nerve fibres [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
The classical Hodgkin-Huxley model describes the propagation of an axon potential (AP) in unmyelinated axons. In many cases the axons have a myelin sheath and the experimental studies have then revealed significant changes in the velocity of APs. In this paper, a theoretical model is proposed describing the AP propagation in myelinated axons. As far as

Exploring neuronal mechanisms of osteosarcopenia in older adults

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Inhibition and potentiation of the exercise pressor reflex by pharmacological modulation of TRPC6 in male rats

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The majority of L4–L5 dorsal root ganglion cells innervating the triceps surae muscles of healthy rats expressed TRPC6 channels. In decerebrated rats, pharmacological inhibition of TRPC6 channels by injection of antagonists (SAR7334 or BI‐749327) into the arterial supply of the triceps surae muscles inhibited the exercise pressor
