ABSTRACT Background: Although parasacral TENS (pTENS) has been employed in various centers, there is a lack of studies on how children with overactive bladder (OAB) respond after failing to complete pTENS sessions. This study aimed describe and assess treatments for OAB who did not pTENS. Material Methods: retrospective case series examined patients aged 4-17 years. Patients were given subsequent treatment options, including: behavioral therapies; oxybutynin; imipramine; combination...
Despite the effectiveness of anterior thalamic nucleus (AN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for treatment epilepsy, mechanisms responsible antiepileptic effects this therapy remain elusive. As adenosine modulates neuronal excitability and seizure activity in animal models, we hypothesized that nucleoside could be one substrates involved AN DBS. We applied five days to rats rendered chronically epileptic by pilocarpine injections recorded epileptiform hippocampal slices. found slices from...
Opioid and serotonergic mechanisms of the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) are recruited by conditioned freezing antinociception. However, it is unclear whether antinociception induced stimulation vlPAG interrelated. To address this issue we looked at effects opioid antagonist naltrexone, 5-HT2 ketanserin, benzodiazepine agonist midazolam injected into on electrical region. This was evaluated tail-flick formalin tests. further characterize involvement in unconditioned fear,...
We have shown that stimulation of the neural substrates in inferior colliculus (IC) causes a significant increase extracellular levels dopamine (DA) frontal cortex (FC). Also, it has been reported basolateral complex amygdala (BLA) serves as filter for unconditioned and conditioned aversive information ascend to higher structures from brainstem. Linking these two kinds information, this work examines whether inactivation BLA interferes with activation cortical dopaminergic outputs produced...
Chemical stimulation of the inferior colliculus (IC) with semicarbazide--an inhibitor gamma aminobutyric acid synthesizing enzyme--functions as an unconditioned stimulus in conditioned place aversion test (CPA), and electrolytic lesions basolateral amygdala (BLA) enhance aversiveness IC stimulation. This study examined effects inactivation BLA muscimol on fear using semicarbazide injections into rats subjected to (CPA) or (open field) tests. In both tests, were injected saline BLA. Muscimol...
Consistent evidence has shown that dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex is increased by electrical stimulation of inferior colliculus (IC) as unconditioned stimulus. Recent reports have also demonstrated inactivation basolateral nucleus amygdala (BLA) with muscimol enhances behavioural consequences aversive IC and reduces cortex. Moreover, neurotoxic lesions BLA enhance whereas those central (CeA) reduce aversiveness IC. Based on these findings present study examined effects...
