Modulatory effects mediated by metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 on lateral geniculate nucleus relay cells
(Wiley, 2005-01-18)
[Abstract] Glutamate is thought to be the excitatory neurotransmitter in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the cat, mediating visual transmission from the retina via ionotropic receptors of both d,l-α-amino-3-hydro ...
Changes in Visual Responses in the Feline dLGN: Selective Thalamic Suppression Induced by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of V1
(Oxford University Press, 2006-08-14)
[Abstract] Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the cortex can modify activity noninvasively and produce either excitatory or inhibitory effects, depending on stimulus parameters. Here we demonstrate controlled ...

Chronic neural adaptation induced by long-term resistance training in humans
(Springer, 2006-02-28)
[Abstract] While it is known that resistance training causes changes in the central nervous system (CNS) in the initial stages of training, there have been few studies of cumulative or sustained neural adaptation to ...
Looking back: corticothalamic feedback and early visual processing
(Elsevier, 2006)
[Abstract] Although once regarded as a simple sensory relay on the way to the cortex, it is increasingly apparent that the thalamus has a role in the ongoing moment-by-moment processing of sensory input and in cognition. ...
Changes in EMG activity during clenching in chronic pain patients with unilateral temporomandibular disorders
(Elsevier, 2008-10-08)
[Abstract] The study assessed the differences in electromyographic (EMG) activity recorded during clenching in women with chronic unilateral temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) as compared to control subjects. Seventy-five ...
The primate pulvinar nuclei: vision and action
(Elsevier, 2000)
[Abstract] The pulvinar nuclei of the thalamus are proportionately larger in higher mammals, particularly in primates, and account for a quarter of the total mass. Traditionally, these nuclei have been divided into oral ...
Visual response augmentation in cat (and macaque) LGN: potentiation by corticofugally mediated gain control in the temporal domain
(Wiley, 2001-12-24)
[Abstract] Visual responses of neurons are dependent on the context of a stimulus, not only in spatial terms but also temporally, although evidence for temporally separate visual influences is meagre, based mainly on studies ...
Effect of whole body vibration in Parkinson's disease: a controlled study
(Wiley, 2009-02-06)
[Abstract] In the search of new strategies to improve the quality of life of Parkinson's disease patients, recent work has reported an amelioration of Parkinsonian symptoms using Whole Body Vibration (WBV). A double-blinded, ...
Nitric oxide-mediated cortical activation: a diffuse wake-up system
(Society of Neuroscience, 2003)
Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in some of the central pathways engaged in the regulation of the sleep–wake cycle. The existence of
nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the cholinergic basal forebrain (BF) cells projecting ...
