Brain Activity Measured by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging is Related to Patient Reported Urgency Urinary Incontinence Severity

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
As provoked by bladder filling, regional brain activity in the setting of self-reported urgency correlates significantly with incontinence severity in daily life and the associated psychological burden.

Neural Control of the Lower Urinary Tract

TL;DR: This article summarizes anatomical, neurophysiological, pharmacological, and brain imaging studies in humans and animals that have provided insights into the neural circuitry and neurotransmitter mechanisms controlling the lower urinary tract.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain activity during bladder filling is related to white matter structural changes in older women with urinary incontinence

TL;DR: Primary analyses confirmed that the apparent effect of global WMH burden might reflect the presence of WMH in specific pathways (anterior thalamic radiation and superior longitudinal fasciculus), thus affecting connections between key regions and suggesting possible mechanisms involved in continence control.

Brain activity underlying impaired continence control in older women with overactive bladder

TL;DR: To identify, in subjects with overactive bladder (OAB), differences in brain activity between those who maintained and those who lost bladder control during functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain with simultaneous urodynamics.

The micturition switch and its forebrain influences

TL;DR: The mechanisms of forebrain involvement in the voluntary control of human micturition and the maintenance of continence are reviewed with evidence based heavily on the results of functional brain imaging experiments.

Neural control of the bladder Recent advances and neurologic implications

TL;DR: ACh = acetylcholine; ATP = adenosine triphosphate; MSA = multiple system atrophy; NGF = nerve growth factor; NO = nitric oxide; PAG = periaqueductal gray; PMC = pontine micturition center; STN-DBS = subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation; TRPV1 = transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1.

The precuneus: a review of its functional anatomy and behavioural correlates.

TL;DR: A useful conceptual framework is provided for matching the functional imaging findings with the specific role(s) played by this structure in the higher-order cognitive functions in which it has been implicated, and activation patterns appear to converge with anatomical and connectivity data in providing preliminary evidence for a functional subdivision within the precuneus.

Pain affect encoded in human anterior cingulate but not somatosensory cortex.

TL;DR: These findings provide direct experimental evidence in humans linking frontal-lobe limbic activity with pain affect, as originally suggested by early clinical lesion studies.

Parietal lobe contributions to episodic memory retrieval

TL;DR: This article surveys the fMRI literature on PPC activation during remembering, a literature that complements earlier electroencephalography data and proposes three hypotheses concerning how parietal cortex might contribute to memory.
