Dopamine (DA) neurons in the mammalian central nervous system are thought to be
restricted to the brain. DA-mediated regulation of urinary activity is considered to occur …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) often causes micturition dysfunction. We recently
discovered a low level of spinally-derived dopamine (DA) that regulates recovered bladder …

We examined the role of dopamine derived from the pars compacta of the substantia nigra
(SN) in the micturition reflex using a‐chloralose anesthetized cats. Repetitive stimuli applied …

Coordination of the bladder detrusor and the external urethral sphincter is a supraspinally
controlled reflex that is essential for efficient micturition. This coordination is permanently lost …

Purpose: We investigated the effects of intrathecal application of γ-aminobutyric acid A and
B receptor agonists on detrusor overactivity in spinal cord injured rats. Materials and …

The micturition reflex is one of the autonomic reflexes mediated by the spinobulbospinal
reflex pathway that passes through the pontine micturition center. In the central nervous …

This article provides a synopsis of current progress made in fundamental studies of lower
urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) after spinal cord injury (SCI) above the sacral level. Animal …

Aims To summarize the changes that occur in the properties of bladder afferent neurons
following spinal cord injury. Methods Literature review of anatomical, immunohistochemical …

We describe an animal model to study neurotransmitter changes in parallel with urodynamic
testing following Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Urodynamic access was achieved using a …

Objectives To investigate whether the voiding dysfunction caused by spinal cord injury (SCI)
in rats can be improved by iv administration of the serotonin (5‐HT) 2A/2C receptor agonist …
