Is there an integrative center in the vertebrate brain-stem? A robotic evaluation of a model of the reticular formation viewed as an action selection device [PDF]
, 2005 Neurobehavioral data from intact, decerebrate, and neonatal rats, suggests that the reticular formation provides a brainstem substrate for action selection in the vertebrate central nervous system.

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 ...

Spinal signalling of C-fiber mediated pleasant touch in humans
eLife, 2019 C-tactile afferents form a distinct channel that encodes pleasant tactile stimulation. Prevailing views indicate they project, as with other unmyelinated afferents, in lamina I-spinothalamic pathways.

History of Spinal Cord “Pain” Pathways Including the Pathways Not Taken
Frontiers in Pain Research, 2022 Traditional medical neuroanatomy/neurobiology textbooks teach that pain is generated by several ascending pathways that course in the anterolateral quadrant of the spinal cord, including the spinothalamic, spinoreticular and spinoparabrachial tracts. The

Not Hot, but Sharp: Dissociation of Pinprick and Heat Perception in Snake Eye Appearance Myelopathy
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Following a traumatic spinal cord injury, a 53-year-old male developed a central cord syndrome with at-level neuropathic pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a classical “snake eye” appearance myelopathy, with marked hyperintensities at C5-C7 ...

Integrating yoga into anatomy and clinical medicine education: A holistic approach to learning
Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract Anatomical knowledge is fundamental for success in clinical settings. Unfortunately, anatomy education within professional health programs has experienced a continual decrease in contact hours and curricular content over the previous two decades, leading to deficits and potential gaps in anatomical science knowledge.
