Human Forearm Vessels
Background The role of nitric oxide (NO) in reactive hyperemia (RH) is not well known. We investigated whether NO plays a role in RH in human forearm vessels by examining the effects of N0-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), a blocker of NO synthesis, on reactive hyperemic flow. Methods and Results Forearm blood flow (FBF) was measured by strain-gauge plethysmography with a venous occlusion techniq...
متن کاملImaging White Matter in Human Brainstem
The human brainstem is critical for the control of many life-sustaining functions, such as consciousness, respiration, sleep, and transfer of sensory and motor information between the brain and the spinal cord. Most of our knowledge about structure and organization of white and gray matter within the brainstem is derived from ex vivo dissection and histology studies. However, these methods cann...
متن کاملDevelopmental plasticity in the human auditory brainstem.
Development of the human auditory brainstem is thought to be primarily complete by the age of approximately 2 years, such that subsequent sensory plasticity is confined primarily to the cortex. However, recent findings have revealed experience-dependent developmental plasticity in the mammalian auditory brainstem in an animal model. It is not known whether the human system demonstrates similar ...
متن کاملNovelty detection in the human auditory brainstem.
Auditory deviance detection has been associated with a human auditory-evoked potential (AEP), the mismatch negativity, generated in the auditory cortex 100-200 ms from sound change onset. Yet, single-unit recordings in animals suggest much earlier (∼20-40 ms), and anatomically lower (i.e., thalamus and midbrain) deviance detection. In humans, recordings of the scalp middle-latency AEPs have con...
متن کاملNoninvasive mapping of human trigeminal brainstem pathways.
The human trigeminal system mediates facial pain and somatosensory processing. The anatomic location of neuronal substrates and axonal pathways of the trigeminal system have previously been characterized with conventional in vitro methods. The present investigation implemented diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and probabilistic tractography to first segment the peripheral trigeminal circuitry, tri...
