Methodology to obtain a mixed sural nerve recording in mice.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: There is an increasing interest in using mouse models for electrodiagnostic research. Studying transgenic mice with various pathologies adds to our knowledge of the natural history of a disease. It is imperative, however, to compare ... Read more...

Pain relief through expectation supersedes descending inhibitory deficits in fibromyalgia patients.

10 Jun 2009 In healthy adults, expectations can modulate the activity of inhibitory bulbo-spinal projections, and can even block the analgesic properties of counter-irritation - a phenomenon that triggers descending inhibition. Since descending inhibition is ... Read more...

Reflex pathways connect receptors in the human lower leg to the erector spinae muscles of the lower back.

28 May 2009 Reflex pathways connect all four limbs in humans. Presently, we tested the hypothesis that reflexes also link sensory receptors in the lower leg with muscles of the lower back (erector spinae; ES). Taps were applied to the right Achilles' tendon and ... Read more...
