Abstract:
Vagal sensory neurons constitute the major afferent supply to the airways and lungs. Subsets of afferents are defined by their embryological origin, molecular profile, neurochemistry, functionality, and anatomical organization, and collectively these nerves are essential for the regulation of respiratory physiology and pulmonary defense through local responses and centrally mediated neural pathways. Mechanical and chemical activation of airway afferents depends on a myriad of ionic and receptor-mediated signaling, much of which has yet to be fully explored. Alterations in the sensitivity and n

Abstract:
Autonomic nerves in most mammalian species mediate both contractions and relaxations of airway smooth muscle. Cholinergic-parasympathetic nerves mediate contractions, whereas adrenergic-sympathetic and/or noncholinergic parasympathetic nerves mediate relaxations. Sympathetic-adrenergic innervation of human airway smooth muscle is sparse or nonexistent based on histological analyses and plays little or no role in regulating airway caliber. Rather, in humans and in many other species, postganglionic noncholinergic parasympathetic nerves provide the only relaxant innervation of airway smooth musc

In humans, the perception of vertical is provided by input from various sensorineural organs and pathways: vision, eye-movements, and proprioceptive and vestibular cues, particularly from the otolithic organs and graviceptive pathways. Well known in several types of brainstem lesions, subjective visual vertical (SVV) abnormalities may also be observed after peripheral vestibular lesions, such as surgical deafferentation, with a deviation directed toward the operated ear. Subjective visual vertical abnormalities are presumably related to a lesion of the otolithic organs and/or to changes in the

Pain is a multidimensional sensory experience that is mediated by complex peripheral and central neuroanatomical pathways and mechanisms. Typically, noxious stimuli activate specific peripheral nerve terminals onto Aδ‎ and C nerve fibers that convey pain and generate signals that are relayed and processed in the spinal cord and then conveyed via the spinothalamic tracts to the contralateral thalamus and from there to the brain. Acute pain is self-limited and resolves with the healing process, but conditions of extensive injury or inflammation sensitize the pain pathways and generate aberrant,

Abstract:
Motor neurons in the spinal cord brainstem motor nuclei (motoneurons) are the final effectors of central motor control and provide the output to skeletal muscles, forming motor units. The activity of spinal motoneurons is controlled by descending cortical and brainstem inputs largely via premotor circuits involving excitatory or inhibitory interneurons. These circuits elicit specific patterns of motoneuron activation controlling muscle synergies under the influence of descending corticospinal and brainstem motor pathways. Central pattern generators are interneuron circuits that can autonomously generate activation of motoneurons in the absence of descending commands or afferent feedback and include those involved in locomotion, respiration, and swallowing. Disorders affecting motor neurons or their control by afferent, cortical, or cerebellar influences constitute a large proportion of neurological diseases.

Full text
Abstract:
The proprioception is the sense of positioning and movement. It is mediate by proprioceptors, a small subset of mechanosensory neurons localized in the dorsal root ganglia that convey information about the stretch and tension of muscles, tendons, and joints. These neurons supply of afferent innervation to specialized sensory organs in muscles (muscle spindles) and tendons (Golgi tendon organs). Thereafter, the information originated in the proprioceptors travels throughout two main nerve pathways reaching the central nervous system at the level of the spinal cord and the cerebellum (unconscious) and the cerebral cortex (conscious) for processing. On the other hand, since the stimuli for proprioceptors are mechanical (stretch, tension) proprioception can be regarded as a modality of mechanosensitivity and the putative mechanotransducers proprioceptors begins to be known now. The mechanogated ion channels acid-sensing ion channel 2 (ASIC2), transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) and PIEZO2 are among candidates. Impairment or poor proprioception is proper of aging and some neurological diseases. Future research should focus on treating these defects. This chapter intends provide a comprehensive update an overview of the anatomical, structural and molecular basis of proprioception as well as of the main causes of proprioception impairment, including aging, and possible treatments.

Abstract:
As frequently occurs in science, progress made on the neurobiology of bipolar disorder has followed a nonlinear course that often revisits deserted concepts. The neurobiological blueprint of bipolar disorder continues to unfold from a neurotransmitter-based hypothesis to include peptides and intracellular signaling pathways, and into a broader neuronal network perspective that involves cortical and subcortical regions in the brain. Moreover, new evidence makes it increasingly clear that the mechanisms of disease in bipolar disorder extend beyond the brain, providing plausible “missing links” between psychopathology and the elevated medical comorbidities. This is illustrated by the expanding role of the circadian system in bipolar disorder and the emerging evidence on the contribution of spinal afferents to the construct of mood, portraying that brain–body communication pathways are relevant to the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder. This chapter provides an overview of the current and emerging neurobiological frameworks for bipolar disorder.

Abstract:
Higher animals have four basic tissue types: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, nervous tissue, and muscle. Of these, nerve and muscle are grouped together as ‘excitable cells’ because the cell membrane has the ability to vary membrane ion conductance and membrane voltage so as to transmit meaningful signals within and between cells. Within excitable cells information is transmitted using either an amplitude-modulated (AM) code using slow, electrotonic potentials, or a frequency-modulated (FM) code when signalling is by action potentials. Much of the signalling between excitable cells occurs at chemical synapses where a chemical neurotransmitter is released from presynaptic cells and then interacts with postsynaptic membrane receptors. Clinical symptoms can arise when the release of chemical neurotransmitters is disturbed, or when availability of postsynaptic receptors is altered. Thus, a reduction in dopamine release from basal ganglia substantia nigra cells is found in Parkinson’s disease, while myasthenia gravis results from loss of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscle. Sometimes transmission from cell to cell is not by chemical neurotransmitter but by electrical synapses, where gap-junctions provide direct electrical connectivity. Transmission between cardiac muscle cells occurs in this way. Some cardiac arrhythmias, such as Wolff –Parkinson–White syndrome, are a consequence of an abnormal path of electrical conduction between cardiac muscle fibres. Sensory cells on and within the body pass information via afferent pathways from the peripheral nervous system into the central nervous system (CNS). CNS processes and sensory information are integrated to produce outputs from the CNS. These outputs pass by various efferent routes to the effector organs: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands. It is through these effectors that the CNS is able to exert control over the body and to interact with the environment. Alterations of function anywhere in the afferent, integrative, or efferent aspects of the system, as well as defects in the effectors themselves, are likely to lead to significant clinical symptoms and signs. The efferent outflow from the CNS has two major components. One, the somatic nervous system, innervates only skeletal muscle. The other is the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which innervates cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and the glands of the viscera and skin.

Abstract:
Physiological pain is evoked by intense (noxious) stimuli acting on healthy tissue functioning as a warning signal to avoid damage of the tissue. In contrast, pathophysiological pain is present in the course of disease, and it is often elicited by low-intensity stimulation or occurs even as resting pain. Causes of pathophysiological pain are either inflammation or injury causing pathophysiological nociceptive pain or damage to nerve cells evoking neuropathic pain. The major peripheral neuronal mechanism of pathophysiological nociceptive pain is the sensitization of peripheral nociceptors for mechanical, thermal and chemical stimuli; the major peripheral mechanism of neuropathic pain is the generation of ectopic discharges in injured nerve fibres. These phenomena are created by changes of ion channels in the neurons, e.g. by the influence of inflammatory mediators or growth factors. Both peripheral sensitization and ectopic discharges can evoke the development of hyperexcitability of central nociceptive pathways, called central sensitization, which amplifies the nociceptive processing. Central sensitization is caused by changes of the synaptic processing, in which glial cell activation also plays an important role. Endogenous inhibitory neuronal systems may reduce pain but some types of pain are characterized by the loss of inhibitory neural function. In addition to their role in pain generation, nociceptive afferents and the spinal cord can further enhance the inflammatory process by the release of neuropeptides into the innervated tissue and by activation of sympathetic efferent fibres. However, in inflamed tissue the innervation is remodelled by repellent factors, in particular with a loss of sympathetic nerve fibres.
