Sensory Stimulation to Promote Deep Breathing in the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patient
… as a technique to stimulate the C-fibers of afferent pathways. Quick icing has been suggested to stimulate A-delta fibers of afferent pathways. Two subjects were placed in the head—down position of 12.6 degrees for sensory stimulation testing, while one subject was left in supine position. …

An Electrophysiological Study of Thalamo-Hippocampal Relationships
… incomplete evidence exists concerning the afferent pathways mediating sensory information which arrives there. | It has been said that the hippocampus is affected by the same afferent modalities as the cerebral cortex, though subserving different functions (Green and Arduini, 1954), and …

Organization of the Clare-Bishop Area of Cat Visual Cortex (Extrastriate)
… areas, the Clare-Bishop area, its geniculate afferent pathways, and its participation in associational cortical circuits. My basic findings are: (i) The MIN represents an area of the retina coincident with the reflective tapetum (Lee et al., 1984). Cells of the MIN have greater sensitivity in …

An Associative Memory Trace in the Cerebellar Cortex
… well as paired direct stimulation of cerebellar afferent pathways (mossy and climbing fibres) consistently causes a gradual acquisition of an inhibitory response in Purkinje cell simple spike firing. The response also displays gradual extinction to unpaired presentations of the stimuli, and …

INVESTIGATING SEX DIFFERENCES IN THE TRANS-SYNAPTIC REGULATORS OF MESOLIMBIC DRIVEN PALATABLE FOOD INTAKE
… viral trans-synaptic strategy to trace upstream afferents of the mesolimbic pathway in male and female rats. Surprisingly these experiments revealed different afferent pathways in male and female groups. Female afferents of the mesolimbic pathway were labeled: BNST VTA NAcSh, while male …

Functional contributions of a sex-specific population of myelinated aortic baroreceptors in rat and their changes following ovariectomy
… that are a mix of those observed in barosensory afferents functionally identified as myelinated A-type or unmyelinated C-type. Interestingly, Ah-type afferents constitute nearly 50% of the total population of myelinated aortic BR in female but less than 2% in male rat. We hypothesized that an …

Dependence of Visuomotor Behavior on Individual Layers of the Cat Lateral Geniculate Nucleus in the Normal Brain and Following Recovery From Destruction of Individual Layers
… of input from the A layers, other parallel afferent pathways can quickly (often within 24 hours) compensate for the behavioral deficit. The C-layers clearly have this capability, although our data raise the possibility that compensation can take place if the C layers are damaged as well, …

Naᵥ1.8+ Visceral Afferent Neurons: Roles in Metabolism and Inflammation
… of a network of inflammatory signaling pathways. As vagal afferents are a neuronal population that can rapidly respond to both food-related stimuli as well as inflammatory agents and cytokines, I hypothesized that intact vagal afferent function may be required for proper regulation of …

Higher Order Conditioning of the Eyeblink Reflex
… Albus, 1971). The cerebellum has two distinct afferent pathways. The first are the mossy fibres which have diverse origins from various nuclei, including sensory structures. The second pathway is that of the climbing fibres that originate from the inferior olivary nuclei. In Marr’s proposal, …
