Parallel Neural Pathways Mediate CO2 Avoidance Responses in Drosophila

Science, 2013
Too Much or Too Little An important task of the nervous system is to distribute information appropriately throughout the brain. The olfactory and gustatory systems of Drosophila provide good models for understanding these processes and the underlying ...

ErbB2 Pathways in Heart and Neural Diseases

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2003
The proto-oncogene ErbB2 (also known as c-neu or HER2 in humans) encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that is frequently overexpressed in human tumors. It is the target of a novel and effective antibody-based therapy for malignant mammary tumors (trastuzumab/Herceptin).

A neural pathway for the shift response in the cat

Brain Research, 1985
The shift response (McIlwain effect) was elicited by moving a large grating situated greater than 15 degrees from the conventional receptive field center (RFC). We examined the change in the amplitude of the shift response induced by placing a steady target on the RFC or the RF surround.

Neural delay in the ascending auditory pathway

Experimental Brain Research, 1981
Evoked responses from the cochlea and cochlear nucleus in the rat were studied using two types of stimuli: (1) bursts of tones or noise, and (2) continuous tones or noise that were amplitude modulated with pseudorandom noise. While the responses to the first type of stimuli were averaged only in the conventional way, the responses to the continuous and

Overview of neural pathways in allergy and asthma

Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2003
Three groups of airway sensory nervous receptor may be involved in the pathophysiological changes in asthma and allergy. Those most active will be the C-fibre receptors, the rapidly adapting receptors, and A delta-nociceptive receptors. All are stimulated or sensitised by the inflammatory and immunological changes. The C-fibre receptors may mediate the

A role for neural pathways in exercise hyperpnea

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1984
The ventilatory response to exercise induced by stimulation of the peripheral ends of severed sciatic nerves was studied in seven anesthetized dogs. In response to exercise (n = 23) there were increases in expired minute ventilation (delta VE = 4.09 l/min), arterial CO2 partial pressure (delta PaCO2 = 3.06 Torr), and carotid artery temperature (delta ...

Neural pathways of somatic and visceral reflexes of the external urethral sphincter in female rats

The Journal of comparative neurology, 2012
The external urethral sphincter (EUS) plays a crucial role in maintaining urinary continence. The activity of the EUS is modulated by bladder and urethra sensory neurons.

[Neural pathways--neural networks].

Orvosi hetilap, 1996
During the past two decades, the introduction of several modern neuroanatomical approaches resulted in a rapidly growing body of informations about neuronal pathways in the central nervous system. Several new neuronal connections between brain areas have been discovered, and the chemical nature (neurotransmitter content) of pathways has been determined

A Convolutional Neural Network-based Model of Neural Pathways in the Retina

2019 41st Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2019
A variety of the visual functions of the vertebrate retina rely on the interactions between excitation and inhibition within specialized retinal circuitry. The nonlinear properties of these interactions, as well as a large number of cell types and pathways involved, pose a challenge for characterizing many of these retinal functions.

Horizontal and vertical pathways in neural induction

Trends in Neurosciences, 1991
The regional pattern of the developing nervous system is established early in development. Cues for regionalization of the neuroectoderm might originate from two sources: a vertical signal from the underlying mesoderm, or a signal transmitted horizontally within the neuroectoderm. Recently, these questions have been examined in the Xenapus embryo using
