Positional Coordinates for Spinal Sensory-Motor Connectivity
… neural networks. The selectivity with which sensory axons form connections with spinal motor neurons drives coordinated motor behavior. The precise profile of monosynaptic sensory-motor connectivity has been suggested to have its origins in the recognition of motor neuron subtypes by group Ia …

Connectivity of dI3 Interneurons In the Development of Mice Spinal Cord
… In particular, the development of supraspinal, sensory and motor fibers come together to form organized spinal circuits capable of producing skilled movements that are volitionally controlled. Primitive reflexes such as the palmar grasp reflex (PGR) are known to disappear during development; …

The Computational Neuroethology of Weakly Electric Fish: Body Modeling, Motion Analysis, and Sensory Signal Estimation
… actively influence the content and quality of sensory information they acquire through the positioning of peripheral sensory surfaces. Investigation of how the body and brain work together for sensory acquisition is hindered by (1) the limited number of techniques for tracking sensory surfaces, …

Expression and Function of Galanin in Colonic Sensory Neurones
… by both the enteric nervous system and the sensory nervous system, and it is the latter that is responsible for giving rise to conscious sensations arising from the GI tract, such as pain. In particular, the distal colon is a key source of visceral pain in both inflammatory bowel disease …

Quantification of the human postural control system to perturbations
… maintains standing posture, is composed of the sensory, musculoskeletal, and central nervous systems. Together these systems integrate sensory afferents and generate appropriate motor efferents to adjust posture. The PCS maintains the body center of mass (COM) with respect to the base of support …

Neuroepithelial Signalling in the Colon
… a relative paucity of TRPV4 mRNA within colonic sensory neurons in contrast to the expression of other algogenic receptors and the considerable stimulatory effect of TRPV4 on colonic afferent activity, indicating that non-neuronal cells such as those of the gut mucosa may also contribute to …

Promoting bridging axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury
… a wire knife device that cut ascending primary sensory afferents and immediately after, transplanting olfactory bulb derived OECs into the lesion. Regeneration was assessed in these fibres by injecting the neurotracer biotin dextran amine (BDA) into the left L4 and L5 spinal roots and …
