Cutaneous silent period modulation by tooth clenching, tonic and phasic limb movements in healthy subjects
ObjectiveWe aimed to examine the modulation of the cutaneous silent period (CSP) by tooth clenching and contralateral tonic dorsiflexion of lower...

Mechanisms underlying spontaneous phasic contractions and sympathetic control of smooth muscle in the rat caudal epididymis
Here we investigate mechanisms underlying spontaneous phasic contractions (SPCs) and sympathetic control of contractility in the rat epididymis, a...

Pharmacological evaluation of the gabapentin salicylaldehyde derivative, gabapentsal, against tonic and phasic pain models, inflammation, and pyrexia
Gabapentinoids are effective drugs in most animal models of pain and inflammation with variable effects in humans. The current study evaluated the...

Brainstem Neuronal Circuitries Controlling Gastric Tonic and Phasic Contractions: A Review
This review is on how current knowledge of brainstem control of gastric mechanical function unfolded over nearly four decades from the perspective of...

Afferent neurons of the kidney with impaired firing pattern in inflammation – role of sodium currents?
Peripheral neurons with renal afferents exhibit a predominantly tonic firing pattern of higher frequency that is reduced to low frequencies (phasic...

Prefrontal cortical regulation of REM sleep
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is accompanied by intense cortical activity, underlying its wake-like electroencephalogram. The neural activity...

Norepinephrine links astrocytic activity to regulation of cortical state
Cortical state, defined by population-level neuronal activity patterns, determines sensory perception. While arousal-associated...

β-Amyloid and Lithium Affect the Magnitude of Phasic Dopamine Release in the Shell of the Nucleus Accumbens
Published data indicate that impairments to dopaminergic secretion in the shell of the nucleus accumbens play a role in the pathogenesis of...

Top-down control of human motor thalamic neuronal activity during the auditory oddball task
The neurophysiology of selective attention in visual and auditory systems has been studied in animal models but not with single unit recordings in...

Relative contribution of lateral vestibular neuron and abducens internuclear neuron inputs to the discharge activity of medial rectus motoneurons
Medial rectus motoneurons mediate nasally directed horizontal eye movements. These motoneurons receive two major excitatory inputs, from the abducens...

Role of PTHrP in attenuating transient pressure rises and associated afferent nerve activity of the rat bladder
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) released from detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) as the bladder fills acts as an endogenous DSM relaxant to...

Analysis of NAPA Gene Expression in Brain Structures of Wistar Rats during the Formation of Long-Term Spatial Memory and Physical Activity under Stress Situation
In the cerebellum, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex of mature male Wistar rats with trained spatial navigational skill in the Morris water maze,...

Prelimbic and infralimbic medial prefrontal cortex neuron activity signals cocaine seeking variables across multiple timescales
Rationale and ObjectivesThe prefrontal cortex is critical for execution and inhibition of reward seeking. Neural manipulation of rodent medial...

Pupillometric parameters of alertness during unpredictable but not predictable smooth pursuit neck torsion test are altered in patients with neck pain disorders: a cross-sectional study
Despite commonly investigated predictable smooth-pursuit neck-torsion tasks (SPNT) in neck pain patients, unpredictable conditions have been seldom...

Detection of dynamic changes of electrodermal activity to predict the classroom performance of college students
It is emphasized in the Self-regulated learning (SRL) framework that self-monitoring of learning state is vital for students to keep effective in...

Utilising electrodermal activity sensor signals to quantify nociceptive response during movement activities
ObjectiveWith an increasingly ageing population and osteoarthritis prevalence, the quantification of nociceptive signals responsible for painful...

Structural Brain Correlates of Sleep Microstructure in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2 and its Role on Clinical Phenotype
The influence of brain atrophy on sleep microstructure in Spinocerebellar Ataxias (SCAs) has not been extensively explored limiting the use of these...

GABA tone regulation and its cognitive functions in the brain
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter released at GABAergic synapses, mediating fast-acting phasic inhibition. Emerging...

Pallidal GABA B receptors: involvement in cortex beta dynamics and thalamic reticular nucleus activity
The external globus pallidus (GP) firing rate synchronizes the basal ganglia-thalamus-cortex network controlling GABAergic output to different...

Video polysomnographic analysis of elevated EMG activity and rapid eye movements before abnormal behaviors in REM sleep behavior disorder
The pathogenesis of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is unclear. According to the cortical hypothesis, severe RBD episode...
