  1. 6. Neural circuits engaged in mastication and orofacial nociception

    Författare :Tuija Athanassiadis; K-G Westberg; Sten Grillner; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rhythmical jaw movements; central pattern generator; trigeminal system; rabbit; Rat; c-Fos; nociceptors; muscle pain; muscle spindle afferents; glutamate; Neurophysiology; Neurofysiologi; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Sammanfattning : A deeper understanding of both movement control and the effects of nociceptor inputs on our motor systems is critical for proper clinical diagnosis of musculo-skeletal dysfunctions and for development of novel rehabilitation schemes. In the jaw system, masticatory movements are produced by a central pattern generator (CPG) located in the brainstem. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Neuromuscular adaptations to muscle fatigue during submaximal isometric contractions in man

    Författare :Wolfgang N Löscher; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :isometric; electromyography; tremor; H-reflex; twitch; motoneuron; recruitment; la-afferents; recurrent inhibition; central fatigue; excitatory drive; gastrocnemius; soleus; triceps surae; tendon vibration; ischemia; Renshaw cellStockholm 1995;

    Sammanfattning : During a sustained contraction, the force producing capacity of a muscle gradually decreases. In order to maintain a constant force output, the neuromuscular system has to adapt to the contractile fatigue process. LÄS MER

  4. 8. The central cervical nucleus in the rat : studies on connectivity, function and chemical transmission

    Författare :Birger Ragnarson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Amino acid transmitter AMPA Anterograde Cerebellum Cervical Choleragenoid Electron microscopy Freeze-substitution Glutamate Horseradish peroxidase Ia primary afferent Immunogold Immunocytochemistry Locomotion Motoneuron NMDA Neck muscle Postembedding;

    Sammanfattning : The central cervical nucleus (CCN) is a spinocerebellar cell group in the upper cervical spinal cord (rat: Cl-C3), that is known to receive a powerful primary afferent input from, the upper cervical spinal nerves (C 1-C4), originating mainly from muscle spindle afferents in deep dorsal neck muscles and from the ipsi- and contralateral vestibular nuclei. It projects to the cerebellar vermis bilaterally and to all the vestibular nuclei contralaterally. LÄS MER

  5. 9. On amino acid neurotransmitters in the spinal cord motor nuclei

    Författare :Göran Örnung; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :neurotransmitter; aspartate; glutamate; GABA. glycine; homocysteate; taurine; ultrastructure; freeze-substitution; immunocytochemistry; bouton; synaptic input; motoneuron; strech reflex; spinal cord; cat. rat;

    Sammanfattning : Using pre- and post-embedding immunocytochemistry, the distribution of six amino acid neurotransmitter candidates, with special reference to y-amino-butyric acid (GABA), glycine and glutamate was examined in boutons apposing somata and dendrites in the lumbar motor nuclei of the cat spinal cord. The monosynaptic connection between muscle spindle I a afferents and motoneurons regarding content of neuroactive amino acid and complement of amino acid receptors in the postsynaptic membrane was studied in the rat.
