Extraocular Motor System Exhibits a Higher Expression of Neurotrophins When Compared with Other Brainstem Motor Systems
Extraocular motoneurons resist degeneration in diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The main objective of the present work was to characterize the presence of neurotrophins in extraocular motoneurons and muscles of the adult rat. We also compared these results with those obtained from other cranial motor systems, such as facial and hypoglossal, which indeed suffer neurodegeneration. ...
متن کاملMultiple motor systems in the extraocular muscles of man.
T, he culmination of more than a half century of research in frog muscle was the demonstration of the existence in that species of a separate and distinct slow or tonic striated muscle system that possessed its own peripheral nerve supply and motor units. Thus, the frog has two distinct contractile systems which have different biological functions: a fast or tetanic striate muscle system and a ...
متن کاملSensory and Motor Systems The Neural Code for Motor Control in the Cerebellum and Oculomotor Brainstem†‡
Spike trains are rich in information that can be extracted to guide behaviors at millisecond time resolution or across longer time intervals. In sensory systems, the information usually is defined with respect to the stimulus. Especially in motor systems, however, it is equally critical to understand how spike trains predict behavior. Thus, our goal was to compare systematically spike trains in...
متن کاملCircuits in the rodent brainstem that control whisking in concert with other orofacial motor actions.
The world view of rodents is largely determined by sensation on two length scales. One is within the animal's peri-personal space; sensorimotor control on this scale involves active movements of the nose, tongue, head, and vibrissa, along with sniffing to determine olfactory clues. The second scale involves the detection of more distant space through vision and audition; these detection process...
متن کاملWhat happens to the motor theory of perception when the motor system is damaged?
Motor theories of perception posit that motor information is necessary for successful recognition of actions. Perhaps the most well known of this class of proposals is the motor theory of speech perception, which argues that speech recognition is fundamentally a process of identifying the articulatory gestures (i.e. motor representations) that were used to produce the speech signal. Here we rev...
