Animal respiration is the process by which oxygen (0,) is delivered to the cells to oxidize
nutrients and obtain the energy necessary for all vital functions; carbon dioxide (CO,) is …

Diabetic neuropathy is the most common peripheral neuropathy in western countries.
Although every effort has been made to clarify the pathogenic mechanism of diabetic …

Innocuous touch of the skin is detected by distinct populations of neurons, the low-threshold
mechanoreceptors (LTMRs), which are classified as Aβ-, Aδ-, and C-LTMRs. Here, we report …

IN humans, trauma to a peripheral nerve may be followed by chronic pain syndromes which
are only relieved by blockade of the effects of sympathetic impulse traffic1–4. It is presumed …

Despite increasing focus on brainstem respiratory control mechanisms in the rat, relatively
little is known about the central organization of chemoreceptor pathways in this species. To …

The sympathetic and sensory innervation of guinea-pig trachea and lung were studied by
means of retrograde neuronal tracing using fluorescent dyes, and double-labelling …

A characteristic peculiarity of the trigeminal sensory system is the presence of two distinct
populations of primary afferent neurons. Most of their cell bodies are located in the …

Publisher Summary This chapter concentrates on the mechanisms by which the sympathetic
nervous system may be causally involved in the generation of pain and hyperalgesia …

The aim of this investigation was to identify the proportional neurochemical codes of enteric
neurons and to determine the specific terminal fields of chemically defined nerve fibers in all …

Placode-derived general visceral afferent neurons of the nodose ganglion transmit visceral
sensory information from specialized sensory endings of the vagus nerve and its branches …
