Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method to identify the root cause of a problem.Abbreviations: [2]... ].., [3]

1,147 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) and the effects of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and vasopressin (VP) on anterior pituitary cells and factors regulating CRH neurosecrctory cell activity are studied.

578 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The basic observations on skeletal muscle and the resulting hypothesis are both due to Hill (1968), who showed that the tension response of passive frog muscle to a slow stretch was biphasic, with an initial, stiff, elastic region at the onset of the movement, which gave way to nearly constant tension due to motion over the remainder of the stretch.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Biochemical analysis of a sub-cellular fraction enriched in myelinoid bodies shows that these bodies have a composition basically similar to that of myelin, however, breakdown products of hiselin constituents, as well as exotic high molecular substances, not present in conventionalMyelin, can also be found.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In conclusion, central pain control systems as part of an integrated behavioural response and the role of Nucleus tractus solitarius in analgesia and Antinociception in this response are described.

217 citations



Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The formalin pain model, a model based on immediate-early genes expression in the central nervous system, has been used as a guide for mapping techniques in behaving animals and its effects on analgesic drugs.







Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The recognition that multiple systems initiate locomotion both clarifies and complicates the study of locomotion and provides a framework that incorporates disparate findings but it also underscores the need for increased attention to behavioral issues in studies of locomotor circuitry.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The higher sensitivity of supraspinal neuronal responses and their behavioral correlates to the antinoceptive effect of medetomidine obviously reflects the cumulative effect of medication at several areas along the polysynaptic pathway to the rostral parts of the brain.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The dendritic spine 1.1 as mentioned in this paper was the first to be found in the human body to have a 1.5-degree dendrite curvature, which is the first known measurement.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method to identify the root cause of a problem.Abbreviations: [2]... ].., [3]

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This review article has attempted to provide an overview of the various forms of activity-dependent interactions between motoneurones and muscles and its consequences for the development of the motor unit.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Peptides and the blood-brain barrier: changes in endogenous activity as indicators of peptide function: oxytocin during pre£nanoj 9.2.5 Peptide antagonists to define functional roles 9.3.

Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
M. Takano1, A Noma1
TL;DR: A small conductance K+ channel, that is inactivated by ATP, was recently found in the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria, which clearly indicates that a variety of K+ channels, showing ATP-sensitivity, are widely distributed.
