Central effects of clozapine in regulating micturition in anesthetized rats
BACKGROUND We previously showed that systemic administration of the atypical neuroleptic clozapine in the rat altered a number of urodynamic variables and inhibited the external urethral sphincter. Since clozapine acts at several receptor types both at the periphery and the central nervous system, the site of action remained uncertain. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the e...
متن کاملCaffeine enhances micturition through neuronal activation in micturition centers.
Caffeine may promote incontinence through its diuretic effect, particularly in individuals with underlying detrusor overactivity, in addition to increasing muscle contraction of the bladder smooth muscle. Caffeine may also affect bladder function via central micturition centers, including the medial preoptic area, ventrolateral periaqueductal gray, and pontine micturition center. However, the b...
متن کاملCentral Control Circuit for Context-Dependent Micturition
Urine release (micturition) serves an essential physiological function as well as a critical role in social communication in many animals. Here, we show a combined effect of olfaction and social hierarchy on micturition patterns in adult male mice, confirming the existence of a micturition control center that integrates pro- and anti-micturition cues. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a cluster ...
متن کاملNeuronal circuits and evolution.
We agree with Dumont and Robertson (1) that the design ofnervous systems is not necessarily optimal. That teleology has no place in the consideration of biological design is at the very heart of modern evolutionary theory. However, we take exception to several aspects of their article. (i) Their premise that the study ofsimple circuits and behaviors has been slow to lead to any fundamental prin...
متن کاملBrainstem circuits regulating gastric function.
Brainstem parasympathetic circuits that modulate digestive functions of the stomach are comprised of afferent vagal fibers, neurons of the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), and the efferent fibers originating in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV). A large body of evidence has shown that neuronal communications between the NTS and the DMV are plastic and are regulated by the presence of...
