Motion sickness is a complex syndrome that includes many features besides nausea and
vomiting. This review describes some of these factors and points out that under normal …

This review considers the integration of vestibular and other signals by the central nervous
system pathways that participate in balance control and blood pressure regulation, with an …

Numerous studies have demonstrated anatomical and functional neuroplasticity following
spinal cord injury. One of the more notable examples is return of ipsilateral phrenic …

The central nervous system is not a static, hard-wired organ. Examples of neuroplasticity,
whether at the level of the synapse, the cell, or within and between circuits, can be found …

Maintenance of life among higher vertebrates depends on permanent, rhythmic and
coordinated activity of respiratory muscles. Fundamental to our understanding of breathing …

The phrenic motor system receives excitatory inspiratory bulbospinal drive from inspiratory
pre-motor neurons in the rostral ventral respiratory group and descending inhibition from …

Although a number of studies have considered the neural circuitry that regulates diaphragm
activity, these pathways have not been adequately discerned, particularly in animals such as …

During myocardial ischemia, the cranial cervical spinal cord (C1–C2) modulates the central
processing of the cardiac nociceptive signal. This study was done to determine 1) whether …

Objective: To examine the role of vestibular inputs on respiratory and oromotor systems in
healthy preterm infants. Study Design: A total of 27 preterm infants were quasi-randomly …

A variety of experimental approaches in human subjects and animal models established that
the vestibular system contributes to regulation of respiration. In cats, the surgical elimination …
