Spatial representation of corticofugal input in the inferior colliculus: a multicontact silicon probe approach
(Springer-Verlag, 2003-12)
The inferior colliculus (IC) is a well-established target of descending projections from the auditory cortex (AC). However, our understanding of these pathways has been limited by an incomplete picture of their functional ...
Effects of contralateral sound stimulation on unit activity of ventral cochlear nucleus neurons
(Springer-Verlag, 2003-12)
The cochlear nucleus (CN) commissural connection represents the first opportunity for convergence of binaural information in the auditory brainstem. All major neuron types in the ventral CN (VCN) are innervated by a diverse ...
Effects of intraventricular infusion of vascular endothelial growth factor on cerebral blood flow, edema, and infarct volume
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Wien, 2003-01)
Background: Therapeutic cerebral angiogenesis, utilizing angiogenic factors to enhance collateral vessel formation within the central nervous system, is a potential method for cerebral revascularization. A prior dose-response ...
Vessicular glutamate transporters 1 and 2 are differentially associated with auditory nerve and spinal trigeminal inputs to the cochlear nucleus
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-02-01)
Projections of glutamatergic somatosensory and auditory fibers to the cochlear nucleus (CN) are mostly nonoverlapping: projections from the spinal trigeminal nucleus (Sp5) terminate primarily in the granule cell domains ...
Modulation of the spontaneous and evoked discharges of ventral posterior thalamic neurons during shifts in arousal
(Elsevier, 1988-09)
The responses of 154 ventral posterior thalamic neurons to a variety of somatic stimuli and to electrical stimulation of the midbrain spinal lemniscus were recorded in the awake squirrel monkey during varying states of ...
Developmental changes in neurophysiological taste response from the medulla in sheep
(Elsevier, 1980-06-02)
To determine whether functional characteristics of the taste system change during development, electrophysiological taste responses were recorded from neurons in the solitary complex (nucleus and tractus solitarius) in the ...
The role of the coagulation cascade in brain edema formation after intracerebral hemorrhage
(Springer-Verlag, 1996-04)
The coagulation cascade has a potential role in brain edema formation due to intracerebral hemorrhage. In this study blood and other solutions were injected stereotactically into the right basal ganglia in rats. Twenty-four ...
Autonomic control of von Ebner's lingual salivary glands and implications for taste sensation
(Elsevier, 1987-09-01)
To learn the nature of the autonomic control of the serous lingual salivary glands of von Ebner, parasympathetic and sympathetic agonists were injected into rats, and the extent of depletion of the secretory granules in ...
The role of thrombin and thrombin receptors in ischemic, hemorrhagic and traumatic brain injury: deleterious or protective?
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2003-01)
In the last two decades it has become apparent that thrombin has many extravascular effects that are mediated by a family of protease-activated receptors (PARs). PAR-1, -3 and -4 are activated via cleavage by thrombin. The ...
Dialysis delivery of an adenosine A 2A agonist into the pontine reticular formation of C57BL/6J mouse increases pontine acetylcholine release and sleep
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2006-03)
In vivo microdialysis in C57BL/6J (B6) mouse was used to test the hypothesis that activating adenosine A 2A receptors in the pontine reticular formation (PRF) increases acetylcholine (ACh) release and rapid eye movement ...
