EFFECT OF RUMINAL NaCl LOADING ON WATER INTAKE, URINE OUTPUT AND RETICULAR MOTILITY IN SHEEP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Water intake, urine output and reticular motility were monitored after injecting 50 g NaCl into the rumen of sheep. Water consumption and urine output were restored to pre-injection levels after 11.5-15 h. Reticular motility was unaffected by ruminal NaCl injection or by NaCl infusions into the reticulum. These results are discussed in relation to food intake and the tonicity of rumen fluid and plasma.

Duodenal ileus caused by a calf feeding nipple in a cow
BACKGROUND The aim of this report was to describe duodenal obstruction caused by a rubber foreign body in a cow. CASE PRESENTATION The clinical, biochemical and ultrasonographic findings in a five-year-old Swiss Braunvieh cow with duodenal ileus caused by a calf feeding nipple are described. The main clinical signs were anorexia, ruminal tympany, decreased faecal output and abomasal reflux sy...
متن کاملSubcortical Structures in Humans Can Be Facilitated by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that alters cortical excitability. Interestingly, in recent animal studies facilitatory effects of tDCS have also been observed on subcortical structures. Here, we sought to provide evidence for the potential of tDCS to facilitate subcortical structures in humans as well. Subjects received anodal-tDCS an...

Neurons in the pontomedullary reticular formation (PMRF) give rise to the reticulospinal tract. The motor output of the PMRF was investigated using stimulus-triggered averaging of electromyography (EMG) and force recordings in two monkeys (M. fascicularis). EMG was recorded from 12 pairs of upper limb muscles, and forces were detected using two isometric force-sensitive handles. Of 150 stimulat...

Reticular facilitation of evoked responses in the lateral geniculate nucleus and visual cortex elicited by ipsilateral optic tract stimulation was studied in cats prepared under ðyl ether-oxygen anesthesia, subsequently locally anesthetized, paralyzed with decamethonium, and placed on artificial respiration. In animals with an intact visual system, single electrical shocks to the reticular f...
متن کاملReticular formation responses to magnetic brain stimulation of primary motor cortex
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of cerebral cortex is a popular technique for the non-invasive investigation of motor function. TMS is often assumed to influence spinal circuits solely via the corticospinal tract. We were interested in possible trans-synaptic effects of cortical TMS on the ponto-medullary reticular formation in the brainstem, which is the source of the reticulospinal tr...
