A thermodynamic model of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems [PDF]
Autonomic Neuroscience, 2003 In light of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics by I. Prigogine, the autonomic nervous system as a whole may be viewed as a dissipative structure progressively assembled in the course of evolution, plastically and rhythmically interfaced between forebrain, internal and external environments, to regulate energy, matter and information exchanges.

Vagotomy ameliorates islet morphofunction and body metabolic homeostasis in MSG-obese rats [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2015 The parasympathetic nervous system is important for β-cell secretion and mass regulation. Here, we characterized involvement of the vagus nerve in pancreatic β-cell morphofunctional regulation and body nutrient homeostasis in 90-day-old monosodium ...

Acquired postganglionic cholinergic dysautonomia – A rare clinical entity
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. Case Reports, 2021 Acute dysautonomia or dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system is characterized by severe postganglionic sympathetic and parasympathetic dysfunction, with a relative or complete sparing of motor and sensory function. Acquired cholinergic dysautonomia,

The petrotympanic canal (Huguier canal): Evolutionary, anatomical, and medical perspectives
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The petrotympanic canal, traditionally referred to as Civinini's or Huguier's canal, represents an anatomical passage connecting the middle ear and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Despite its early description, its structural complexity and functional significance have often been underestimated. In this study, we combined historical, anatomical,
