The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the distinctly different shapes of their tongues, the tongue gross anatomy of Saimaa ringed seal closely resembled that of Baltic ringed seal. There were no differences in the extrinsic and intrinsic tongue muscles or their associated vascularization and innervation between Saimaa and Baltic ringed seals.

Atrophy of the Vagus Nerve in Parkinson's Disease Revealed by High-Resolution Ultrasonography
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Background: The vagus nerve has been suggested to represent one major route of disease progression in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we examined whether patients with idiopathic PD exhibit an atrophy of the vagus nerve in comparison to age-matched ...

Neural Markers of Physiological Modulations Identified with Spectral Analysis of the Vagus Nerve Activity [PDF]
, 2022 The aim of the present work was to identify modulations in the neural activity of the vagus nerve due to the cardiocirculatory and respiratory alterations.

Innervation of the tubarial glands: A hypothesis‐driven anatomical review
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The tubarial glands have been described as a macroscopic bilateral glandular complex in the posterolateral nasopharynx near the torus tubarius and the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube. Since their recognition on prostate‐specific membrane antigen‐based imaging, their anatomical classification has remained debated, with converging ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Fishes of the genus Enchodus were abundant and cosmopolitan in the Late Cretaceous, but are primarily known from isolated remains in Canada. Four well‐preserved fish skulls were recovered in recent years from ammolite mines sampling the Bearpaw Formation of Southern Alberta, and are here referred to Enchodus petrosus Cope, 1874.

Ultrasonography of the Vagus Nerve in Parkinson's Disease
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Based on the topographic distribution of α-synuclein-enriched Lewy bodies, it has been hypothesized that Parkinson's disease may start in the gastrointestinal tract and gain access to the central nervous system via the vagus nerve.
