Dopamine system: Manager of neural pathways [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
There are a growing number of roles that midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons assume, such as, reward, aversion, alerting and vigor. Here I propose a theory that may be able to explain why the suggested functions of DA came about.

Neural pathways for visual speech perception [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
This paper examines the questions, what levels of speech can be perceived visually, and how is visual speech represented by the brain? Review of the literature leads to the conclusions that every level of psycholinguistic speech structure (i.e., phonetic

General anesthesia and sleep: like and unlike [PDF]

open access: yesAnesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2022
General anesthesia and sleep have long been discussed in the neurobiological context owing to their commonalities, such as unconsciousness, immobility, non-responsiveness to external stimuli, and lack of memory upon returning to consciousness.

Longitudinal Change in Brain Functional Connectivity with Herpes Zoster Patients: Neuroimaging Case Series

open access: yesMedicina, 2023
The exact mechanism involved in the development of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is not yet known. The objective of this study was to evaluate longitudinal functional connectivity (FC) changes in the neuroimaging case series of patients with acute herpes ...

Neural Pathways in Allergic Inflammation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Allergy, 2010
Allergy is on the rise worldwide. Asthma, food allergy, dermatitis, and systemic anaphylaxis are amongst the most common allergic diseases. The association between allergy and altered behavior patterns has long been recognized. The molecular and cellular pathways in the bidirectional interactions of nervous and immune systems are now starting to be ...

Central neural pathways for thermoregulation [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience, 2011
Central neural circuits orchestrate a homeostatic repertoire to maintain body temperature during environmental temperature challenges and to alter body temperature during the inflammatory response. This review summarizes the functional organization of the neural pathways through which cutaneous thermal receptors alter thermoregulatory effectors: the ...

Analogies of human speech and bird song: From vocal learning behavior to its neural basis

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
Vocal learning is a complex acquired social behavior that has been found only in very few animals. The process of animal vocal learning requires the participation of sensorimotor function.

Sensory innervation of the lumbar 5/6 intervertebral disk in mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2023
IntroductionOver the years, most back pain-related biological studies focused on the pathogenesis of disk degeneration. It is known that nerve distributions at the outer layer of the annulus fibrosus (AF) may be an important contributor to back pain ...
