Effect of high level of bladder filling on spinal nociception and motoneuronal excitability [PDF]
, 2015 To verify whether high level of bladder distension may counteract the inhibitory effect of descending pathways on sacral spinal cord neurons and to investigate which spinal circuitries are possibly involved in such a viscero-somatic interaction ...

Building and manipulating neural pathways with microfluidics [PDF]
Lab on a Chip, 2010 Communication between different brain regions, and between local circuits in the same brain region, is an important area of study for basic and translational neuroscience research. Selective and chronic manipulation of one of the components in a given neural pathway is frequently required for development and plasticity studies.

Dorsal hindbrain ablation results in rerouting of neural crest migration and changes in gene expression, but normal hyoid development [PDF]
, 1997 Our previous studies have shown that hindbrain neural tube cells can regulate to form neural crest cells for a limited time after neural fold removal (Scherson, T., Serbedzija, G., Fraser, S. E. and Bronner-Fraser, M. (1993).

Mechanisms of electrical vasoconstriction
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2018 Background Electrical vasoconstriction is a promising approach to control blood pressure or restrict bleeding in non-compressible wounds. We explore the neural and non-neural pathways of electrical vasoconstriction in-vivo.

The transcription factor ATF5: role in cellular differentiation, stress responses, and cancer. [PDF]
, 2017 Activating transcription factor 5 (ATF5) is a cellular prosurvival transcription factor within the basic leucine zipper (bZip) family that is involved in cellular differentiation and promotes cellular adaptation to stress.

In ovo time-lapse analysis after dorsal neural tube ablation shows rerouting of chick hindbrain neural crest [PDF]
, 2000 Previous analyses of single neural crest cell trajectories have suggested important roles for interactions between neural crest cells and the environment, and amongst neural crest cells. To test the relative contribution of intrinsic versus extrinsic

Visual pathways from the perspective of cost functions and multi-task deep neural networks [PDF]
, 2017 Vision research has been shaped by the seminal insight that we can understand the higher-tier visual cortex from the perspective of multiple functional pathways with different goals. In this paper, we try to give a computational account of the functional

Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory: An Approach Based On Pan-Protopsychism [PDF]
, 2002 As an alternative to our original dualistic approach, we present here our spin-mediated consciousness theory based on pan-protopsychism. We postulate that consciousness is intrinsically connected to quantum mechanical spin since said spin is embedded in ...

Spatial and temporal changes in the distribution of proteoglycans during avian neural crest development [PDF]
, 1991 In this study, we describe the distribution of various classes of proteoglycans and their potential matrix ligand, hyaluronan, during neural crest development in the trunk region of the chicken embryo.
