Effect of body tilt on calf muscle performance and blood flow in humans
(American Physiological Society, 2005)To explore the effect of posture on muscle performance, we tested the effects of body tilt angle on the strength, endurance, and fatigue of, and blood flow into, the plantar flexors. Human subjects were fixed to a tilt ... -
The effect of externally generated loading on predictive grip force modulation.
(2007)A characteristic of skilled movement is the ability of the CNS to predict the consequences of motor commands. When we lift an object there is an anticipatory increase in grip force that prevents a grasped object from ... -
Effect of low recumbent angle on cycling performance, fatigue and VO2 kinetics.
(2013)Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of the degree of inclination from upright to supine postures on cycling performance, fatigue, and oxygen uptake (V˙O(2)) kinetics. Methods: In experiment 1, 10 subjects ... -
Effect of type 2 diabetes on the dynamic response characteristics of leg vascular conductance during exercise
(2011)In this study we tested the hypothesis that type 2 diabetes impairs the dynamic response of leg vascular conductance (LVC) during exercise. LVC (leg blood flow/mean arterial pressure) responses were studied during intermittent ... -
Elucidating the complex organization of neural micro-domains in the locust Schistocerca gregaria using dMRI
(2021)To understand brain function it is necessary to characterize both the underlying structural connectivity between neurons and the physiological integrity of these connections. Previous research exploring insect brain ... -
Enhanced motor learning following task-concurrent dual transcranial direct current stimulation.
(2013)OBJECTIVE: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the primary motor cortex (M1) has beneficial effects on motor performance and motor learning in healthy subjects and is emerging as a promising tool for motor ... -
Exploring Sex-Related Differences in Microglia May Be a Game-Changer in Precision Medicine
(2022)One area of microglial biology that has been relatively neglected until recently is sex differences and this is in spite of the fact that sex is a risk factor in several diseases that are characterized by neuroinflammation ... -
Extrasynaptic NR2D-containing NMDARs are recruited to the synapse during LTP of NMDAR-EPSCs
(2008)Long-term potentiation of NMDA-receptor-mediated synaptic transmission (NMDAR-LTP) is a little-understood form of plasticity. In the present study, we investigated whether NMDAR-LTP in the dentate gyrus involves recruitment ... -
Eye-Hand Coordination: Dextrous Object Manipulation in New Gravity
(ESA Publications Division, 2005) -
The fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor URB597 exerts anti-inflammatory effects in hippocampus of aged rats and restores an age-related deficit in long-term potentiation.
(2012)Background: Several factors contribute to the deterioration in synaptic plasticity which accompanies age and one of these is neuroinflammation. This is characterized by increased microglial activation associated with ... -
Fingolimod Attenuates Splenocyte-Induced Demyelination in Cerebellar Slice Cultures
(2014)The family of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs) is G-protein-coupled, comprised of subtypes S1PR1-S1PR5 and activated by the endogenous ligand S1P. The phosphorylated version of Fingolimod (pFTY720), an oral therapy ... -
Fractalkine shedding is mediated by p38 and the ADAM10 protease under pro-inflammatory conditions in human astrocytes

Fractalkine-induced activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase pathway attentuates microglial activation in vivo and in vitro.
(2009)Several neurodegenerative disorders are associated with evidence of inflammation, one feature of which is increased activation of microglia, the most likely cellular source of inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-1b. ... -
From Mechanisms to Analgesia: Towards the Use of Non-Invasive Neuromodulation for Pain Relief in the Clinic
(Intech Open, 2020)The use of electricity for analgesic effects has a long history and yet currently neuromodulation devices based on electrical stimulation are typically restricted to being a last resort intervention for pain patients after ... -
Functional expression of serotonin 5-HT7 receptor in human glioblastoma cell lines
(2004)Serotonin 5‐HT7 receptors are present in astrocytes. Understanding their role in this type of cell would greatly benefit from the identification of astroglial cell lines expressing this receptor type. The aim of the present ... -
Galactosylsphingosine (psychosine)-induced demyelination is attenuated by sphingosine 1-phosphate signalling
(The Company of Biologists Ltd, 2015)Globoid cell leukodystrophy (Krabbe disease) is a rare infantile neurodegenerative disorder. Krabbe disease is caused by deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme galactocerebrosidase (GALC) resulting in accumulation, in the ...
