The nitric oxide/cGMP pathway tunes the thermosensitivity of swimming motor patterns in Xenopus laevis tadpoles.

2 Nov 2009 We investigated the role of the nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP pathway in setting thresholds for failure and recovery during hyperthermic stress of the swimming central pattern generator of immobilized Xenopus tadpoles (stage 42). We recorded swimming motor ... Read more...

Sudomotor dysfunction in autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy.

Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy is characterized by impairment of multiple autonomic domains of which sudomotor function is among the most common. Many patients with this disorder have difficulties with thermoregulation and ... Read more...

Oceanic spawning migration of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla).

23 Sep 2009 European eels (Anguilla anguilla) undertake a approximately 5000-kilometer (km) spawning migration from Europe to the Sargasso Sea. The larvae are transported back to European waters by the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Drift. However, details of ... Read more...
