Number of contractions to maintain mass and force of a denervated rat muscle
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-07)
Within 5 weeks, denervated extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of rats lose 66% of mass, 91% of force, and 76% of fiber cross-sectional area (CSA). We previously determined the parameters of electrical stimulation for ...
Neurovascular-anastomosed muscle grafts in rabbits: Functional deficits result from tendon repair
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1988-07)
In rabbits, 9 g rectus femoris (RFM) muscles were grafted with tendon repair and with (1) nerves and blood vessels intact, (2) nerves intact and blood vessels anastomosed, or (3) nerves and blood vessels anastomosed. The ...
Neuroanastomosis of orthotopically transplanted palmaris longus muscles
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1979-01)
Palmaris longus (PML) muscles of rhesus monkeys were transplanted, with or without anastomosis of the median nerve, to the nerve stump of the autograft. Because PML autografts revascularize spontaneously, vascular anastomoses ...
Contractile properties of standard and nerve-intact muscle grafts in the rat
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1985-06)
The contractile properties of standard and nerve-intact grafts of extensor digitorum longus muscles of rats were compared in vitro. Fourteen days after grafting, the time to peak tension and the half-relaxation times of ...
Detecting low-frequency functional connectivity in fMRI using a self-organizing map (SOM) algorithm
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-12)
Low-frequency oscillations (<0.08 Hz) have been detected in functional MRI studies, and appear to be synchronized between functionally related areas. A current challenge is to detect these patterns without using an external ...
Protein synthesis in skeletal muscle following acute exhaustive exercise
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1979-07)
Cell-free and whole-tissue protein synthesis was studied in skeletal muscle of untrained male guinea pigs that had undergone a treadmill run to exhaustion. Experiments using explants from the gastrocnemius muscle maintained ...
The tonotopic organization of the auditory thalamus of the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus)
(Elsevier, 1974-01-11)
Single unit responses were recorded from the auditory thalamus of anesthetized squirrel monkeys. The microelectrode penetrations had an orientation perpendicular to the sagittal plane. The small cell division is tonotopically ...
Single unit responses recorded from the first order neuron of the pigeon auditory system
(Elsevier, 1976-01-16)
Intracochlear recordings from the first order neurons in the eighth nerve of the pigeon were made with microelectrodes. The basic response characteristics of the single units were similar to those recorded from mammalian ...
Translocation of the temporalis muscle for treatment of facial paralysis
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1982-09)
Our purpose was to characterize in the rhesus monkey the structure and function of vascularized temporalis muscle flaps innervated by the facial nerve after translocation into the site of the denervated zygomaticus muscle. ...
Angular displacement of torso during lifting: A system comparison of two measuring methods
(Elsevier, 1989-12)
This paper introduces a study which was conducted to evaluate two different methods used to measure trunk kinematics during a set of controlled lifting tasks. The following two methods were compared in a laboratory study: ...
