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 ...

Neuromodulation for overactive bladder is hypothesized to correct deficient spinal inhibitory signals, which would suppress detrusor contractions by stimulating afferent anorectal branches of ...

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 ...

But in recent years, the neuroscientist Prof Francis McGlone has been studying another type of nerve fiber (known as afferent C fibers) which conducts information at around a fiftieth of the speed ...

Researchers examine the role of GLP-2 in regulating food intake through its effects on gastrointestinal motility and satiety ...

This valuable work analyzes how specialized cells in the auditory cells, known as the octopus cells, can detect coincidences in their inputs at the submillisecond time scale. While previous work ...

enlarged receptive field and increased responses to all afferent impulses. This phenomenon is termed central sensitization. Neuropathic pain may be ongoing (e.g., burning pain), paroxysmal (e.g ...

They speculate that specific brain areas could be involved: the dorsal posterior insula collects afferent sensory information about the homeostatic state of the body tissues whereas the right anterior ...
