The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (motor nerves, sensory nerves, cranial and spinal nerves, autonomic ganglia ...

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the system of nerves and ganglia outside the brain and ... the somatic nervous system and the autonomic system. Each part of this system plays a vital ...

Targeted intervention in cardiac ganglia to modulate autonomic homeostasis is a promising therapeutic strategy. Current literature reports the use of optogenetics or gold nanorod‐mediated ...

Acute myocardial ischemia (AMI)‐triggered ventricular arrhythmias are closely linked to maladaptive sympathetic hyperactivity mediated via the left stellate ganglion (LSG ... arrhythmias incidence); ...

The incidence of the metabolic syndrome, the most threatening epidemic in industrialized countries, is rapidly rising. Nonetheless, the mechanisms causing visceral obesity and its associated ...

Objective To test the hypothesis that Joint hypermobility and autonomic dysfunction are over-expressed within neurodevelopmental disorders. Joint hypermobility is a widespread poorly recognized ...

OBJECTIVES AND METHODS Transcranial real time sonography (TCS) was applied to 49 patients with Huntington’s disease and 39 control subjects to visualise alterations in the echotexture of the basal ...

The cerebral cortex and basal ganglia (BG) form a neural circuit that is disrupted in disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. We found that neuronal activity (c-Fos) in the BG followed cortical ...

Communications along the brain-gut axis involve neural pathways as well as immune and endocrine mechanisms. The two branches of the autonomic nervous system are integrated anatomically and ...
