"We have managed to isolate the activity of individual vagal neurons and identified those that are responsible for either informing the brain about cardiovascular function (afferent neurons) or ...
Study: Hepatic Vagal Afferents Convey Clock-Dependent Signals to Regulate Circadian Food Intake. Image Credit: alexkich/Shutterstock.com A recent Science study found that communication between the ...
Spinal cord stimulation might be a valuable alternative to electrical deep-brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), suggests a study by researchers at Duke University ...
This valuable contribution combines high-resolution histology with magnetic resonance imaging in a novel way to study the organisation of the human amygdala. The main findings convincingly show the ...
Neuromodulation for overactive bladder is hypothesized to correct deficient spinal inhibitory signals, which would suppress detrusor contractions by stimulating afferent anorectal branches of ...
Disruptions between the brain’s master circadian clock and the liver’s internal clock, communicated via the hepatic afferent vagal nerve (HVAN), can lead to unhealthy eating patterns and increased ...
Loss of vision or, in the case of an unconscious patient, a relative afferent pupillary deficit representing TON may be the only evidence of ocular pathology. The clinician must reconcile a ...
