Human intramuscular and cutaneous pain: psychophysical comparisons
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1997-04)
We used psychophysical methods to compare the central processing of nociceptive inputs from skin and muscle in ten normal humans. Both intramuscular electrical and infrared CO 2 laser cutaneous stimulation showed increasing ...
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 ...
Somatosensory evoked potentials of the dog: recording techniques and normal values
(Elsevier, 1989-04)
Median and tibial nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) of 5 sedated dogs were studied to determine their normal features and optimal stimulation and recording techniques. Cortical potentials were mapped from an ...
The neuroendocrine signal for ovulation
(Elsevier, 1992-07)
The central nervous system plays a crucial role in determining if and when ovulation occurs. This neural regulation of fertility is achieved, in large measure, by means of the secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone ...
Specific inhibition of mouse oocyte nuclear protein phosphatase-1 stimulates germinal vesicle breakdown
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-05)
Okadaic acid (OA)-induced germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and localization of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) in oocyte nuclei are suggestive of PP1's role in regulating oocyte GVBD. To explore this possibility, we microinjected ...
