Neonatal neurological disorders involving the brainstem: neurosonographic approaches through the squamous suture and the foramen magnum
Brainstem damage which often indicates a critical condition is usually underestimated by trans-anterior-fontanel neurosonography (NS) owing to the far-field limitations. Instead, NS alternately scanning throug...

Structures and connections of enkephalin- and γ-aminobutyric acid-immunoreactive profiles in the gustatory region of the nucleus tractus solitarius: a light and electron microscopic study
GABA and enkephalin (ENK) are principle inhibitory transmitters in the rostral portion of the nucleus tractus solitarius (rNTS) for regulating the gustatory information. Although the existence of GABA- and ENK...
