Dopamine system: Manager of neural pathways [PDF]
Frontiers 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]
Frontiers 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

Interlimb neural interactions in the corticospinal pathways
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2014 Corticospinal excitability is known to be modulated during voluntary muscle contraction of distal limbs. Although a large number of studies have demonstrated the variety of modulations in corticospinal excitability during distal limb movement, those ...

Neural pathways that control the glucose counterregulatory response [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 Glucose is an essential metabolic substrate for all bodily tissues. The brain depends particularly on a constant supply of glucose to satisfy its energy demands.

Neural Pathways in Allergic Inflammation [PDF]
Journal 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 ...

A Neural Pathway for Nonreinforced Preference Change [PDF]
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2020 How is value processed in the brain to inform decision making? A plethora of studies describe how preferences are shaped by experience with external reinforcements. While research on this reinforced pathway is well established, far less research has explored the neural pathways promoting preference change in the absence of external reinforcements. Here,

Avenues within the gut-liver-brain axis linking chronic liver disease and symptoms
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Symptoms of fatigue, social withdrawal and mood disturbances are commonly encountered in patients with chronic liver disease and have a detrimental effect on patient quality of life.

Central neural pathways for thermoregulation [PDF]
Frontiers 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
Frontiers 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.
