Development of the Mesencephalic Trigeminal Nucleus in the Zebrafish
The mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus (MTN) forms part of the monosynaptic trigeminal circuit and is essential for eating and suckling in mammals. Little is known about how the MTN forms. For this thesis I aimed to elucidate the molecular and cellular basis of MTN development. I also aimed to …

Development and Characterization of a Mechanically Induced Temporomandibular Joint Disorder
… jaw opening. Cytokine levels in the spinal trigeminal nucleus were evaluated using protein antibody microarrays. Statistical analysis was performed using a Mann-Whitney U test with significance considered when p < = 0.05. Maximum jaw opening for 20 minutes was sufficient to cause an increase …

EXPRESSION OF SUBSTANCE P IN BRAINSTEMS OF VICTIMS OF SUDDEN UNEXPLAINED PERINATAL DEATH
… in correspondence of the caudal trigeminal nucleus area, with progressive increase in density of positive fibers of the corresponding tract from fetal life to first postnatal months. So, we first delineated the structure of the human trigeminal nucleus, so far little investigated, …

Effects of Single and Dual Orexin Receptor Antagonists on Trigeminal Nociception
… perception. This disorder is mediated by the trigeminal nerve, which provides sensory innervation to the face, scalp, and meninges. Migraine pain is conveyed to the brain via the trigeminothalamic tract, which relays nociceptive signaling from primary nociceptors to the hypothalamus. Orexins …

Secondary Traumatic Stress Promotes Central Sensitization of the Trigeminal System
… peripheral and central sensitization of trigeminal nociceptive nerves. Since migraine is often comorbid with temporomandibular joint disorder and inflammatory bowel disease, it is associated with significant social and economic burdens. Primary traumatic stress is a significant risk …

Bilaterale Hirnstammaktivierung durch noxische Hitzereize im Gesicht gesunder Probanden
… syndrome suggest bilateral processing of trigeminal afferent input in the human brainstem. On the basis of experiments in rodents and clinical data, the present study addresses the hypothesis of bilateral projection of facial nociceptive input onto the spinal trigeminal nucleus (STN) in …

Evaluation of Anti-Migraine Drugs in an in Vivo Rat Model of Chronic Migraine
… somatic symptoms. Prolonged sensitization of the trigeminal system, which is implicated in CM, is comprised of peripheral primary trigeminal ganglion neurons that provide sensory innervation of the head and face and second order neurons in the spinal trigeminal nucleus (STN). The goal of my study …

Thermoreception, thermoregulation and the early thermal environment
… processing at the level of the caudal trigeminal nucleus resembled that described at thermoreceptors. The static and dynamic responses of thermoreceptive neurones at this level were quantified and found not to differ between 20°C – and 30°C-reared rats. The distribution of facial …

PURINERGIC TRANSMISSION IN MIGRAINE: ROLE OF P2Y RECEPTORS IN THE SPINAL-TRIGEMINAL SYSTEM IN VIVO AND IN VITRO
… of peripheral nociceptors. Indeed, the trigeminal nerve conveys sensory information from most extracranial and intracranial structures to the spinal trigeminal nucleus, and it has been therefore hypothesized that migraine could arise from a primary dysfunction leading to activation and …

Modulation of synaptic transmission by TRP channels
… spinal cord dorsal horn (SDH) and caudal spinal trigeminal nucleus (CSTN). Neurotransmitter release from first order nerve terminals regulates ascending sensory transmission. Several lines of evidence indicate that plasticity in the spinal cord dorsal horn underlies secondary hyperalgesia. The …
