Serotonin targets inhibitory synapses to induce modulation of network functions.

10 Sep 2009 The cellular effects of serotonin (5-HT), a neuromodulator with widespread influences in the central nervous system, have been investigated. Despite detailed knowledge about the molecular biology of cellular signalling, it is not possible to ... Read more...

Developments in autonomic research: a review of the latest literature.

30 Jul 2009 Small-diameter afferents do not just subserve pain and temperature sensibilities, important for protection of the body though they are: there is a system of low-threshold unmyelinated afferents that respond to light stroking (C-tactile afferents) ... Read more...

An investigation of cross-modal plasticity of effective connectivity in the blind by dynamic causal modeling of functional MRI data.

2 Jul 2009 To investigate connectivity between primary somatosensory area (S1) and striate cortex (V1) in the blind, we used dynamic causal modeling of functional MRI acquired while 15 blind (9 early-onset and 6 late-onset) and 24 sighted subjects performed a ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Efferent Pathways'

Definition: Nerve structures through which impulses are conducted from a nerve center toward a peripheral site. Such impulses are conducted via efferent neurons (NEURONS, EFFERENT), such as MOTOR NEURONS, autonomic neurons, and hypophyseal neurons.
