Monitoring and Regulating Physiological States and Functions Va Sensory Neural Inputs to the Spinal Cord
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Methods and apparatuses for monitoring and regulating physiological states and functions are disclosed. Several embodiments include application of one or more microelec trode arrays to a dorsal root ganglion for measurement of sensory neuron activity, or stimulation of sensory reflex cir cuits. The methods and apparatuses can be used, for example, for monitoring or controlling bladder function in a patient.

Effect of Physiological noise on Thoraco-Lumbar spinal cord fMRI in 3T Magnetic field
Introduction: Functional MRI methods have been used to study sensorimotor processing in the brain and the Spinal cord. However, these techniques confront unwanted contributions to the measured signal from physiological fluctuations. For the spinal cord imaging, most of the challenges are consequences of cardiac and respiratory movement artifacts that are considered as signifi...

Introduction: Today, clinicians and neuroscientists need to have a comprehensive survey of neurological pathologies and injuries. For the First-time, SEEP contrast and Spin-Echo pulse sequences was used for functional imaging of the Lumbar spinal cord. This method used by several research groups for Spinal cord mapping, but other researchers tried to improve BOLD fMRI to Spina...

Among antiepileptic drugs, valproic acid (VA) is a well known teratogenic agent. Although axial skeletal malformations (vertebral column) and limb defects have been described, its main target organ is neuroepithelium of neural tube. Therefore it seems that administration of VA during early pregnancy may affect on neural tube and adjacent tissues. The goal of pr...

متن کاملSensory processing of deep tissue nociception in the rat spinal cord and thalamic ventrobasal complex
Sensory processing of deep somatic tissue constitutes an important component of the nociceptive system, yet associated central processing pathways remain poorly understood. Here, we provide a novel electrophysiological characterization and immunohistochemical analysis of neural activation in the lateral spinal nucleus (LSN). These neurons show evoked activity to deep, but not cutaneous, stimula...
