An objective approach to assess colonic pain in mice using colonometry.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The present study presents a non-surgical approach to assess colonic mechanical sensitivity in mice using colonometry, a technique in which colonic stretch-reflex contractions are measured by recording intracolonic pressures during saline infusion into ...

WAO-ARIA consensus on chronic cough – Part 1: Role of TRP channels in neurogenic inflammation of cough neuronal pathways

World Allergy Organization Journal, 2021
Background: Cough features a complex peripheral and central neuronal network. The function of the chemosensitive and stretch (afferent) cough receptors is well described but partly understood.

Hamstrings stretch reflex in human spasticity [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1971
In 16 patients with spastic paralysis the hamstrings stretch reflex was found to increase as the velocity of stretch increased, and generally to subside after movement ceased. These effects are attributable to the dynamic property of the primary spindle ending.

Interactions between stretch and startle reflexes produce task-appropriate rapid postural reactions

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2015
Neural pathways underpinning startle reflex and limb stretch reflexes evolved independently and have served vastly different purposes. In their most basic form, the pathways responsible for these reflex responses are relatively simple processing units ...

Reflexes in response to stretch (myotatic reflexes)

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1924
Abstract Familiar to those who work with the decerebrate preparation must be the observation that passive flexion of the characteristically extended knee is felt to evoke some development of resistance of it against that passive movement.

Sensory modulation of gait characteristics in human locomotion: A neuromusculoskeletal modeling study.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2021
The central nervous system of humans and other animals modulates spinal cord activity to achieve several locomotion behaviors. Previous neuromechanical models investigated the modulation of human gait changing selected parameters belonging to CPGs ...

Long-Term Plasticity in Reflex Excitability Induced by Five Weeks of Arm and Leg Cycling Training after Stroke

Brain Sciences, 2016
Neural connections remain partially viable after stroke, and access to these residual connections provides a substrate for training-induced plasticity. The objective of this project was to test if reflex excitability could be modified with arm and leg (A

Gait simulation in children with cerebral palsy using a three-dimensional neuromuscular skeleton model

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2021
Cerebral palsy (CP) causes abnormal gait pattern due to increased stretch reflex and contracture in specific muscles. Increased stretch reflexes in CP are caused by increased activation of muscle spindles due to increased sensitivity of gamma motor ...

Translations of the Humeral Head Elicit Reflexes in Rotator Cuff Muscles That Are Larger Than Those in the Primary Shoulder Movers

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2022
Muscle activation helps stabilize the glenohumeral joint and prevent dislocations, which are more common at the shoulder than at any other human joint. Feedforward control of shoulder muscles is important for protecting the glenohumeral joint from harm ...

Diet‐induced obesity decreases rate‐dependent depression in the Hoffmann’s reflex in adult mice

Physiological Reports, 2019
Obesity is associated with balance and motor control deficits. We have recently shown that Group Ia muscle spindle afferents, the sensory arm of the muscle stretch reflex, are less responsive in mice fed a high‐fat diet.
