The inhibitory control reflex

The inhibitory control reflex

Response inhibition is typically considered a hallmark of deliberate executive control. In this article, we review work showing that response inhibition can also become a 'prepared reflex', readily triggered by information in the environment, or after sufficient training, or a 'learned reflex' triggered by the retrieval of previously acquired associations between stimuli and stopping. We presen...

Inhibitory control of the cough reflex by galanin receptors in the caudal

26 The caudal nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) is the main central station of cough-related 27 afferents and a strategic site for the modulation of the cough reflex. The similarities 28 between the characteristics of central processing of nociceptive and cough-related inputs 29 led us to hypothesize that galanin, a neuropeptide implicated in the control of pain, 30 could also be involved in the ...

On the gastrocecal inhibitory reflex in the rat.

In rats anesthetized with urethane, the effects of distention of the stomach upon cecal motility and neural mechanisms which generate this effect were studied. Cecal motility was inhibited which generate this effect were studied. Cecal motility was inhibited when the pars glandularis of the stomach was distended by pressure ranging from 25 to 30 cm H2O. This inhibitory reflex was not affected b...

Tonic and reflex control of the cardio-respiratory system by neurons in the ventral medulla

To investigate the channels and neurotransmitters in the ventrolateral medulla (VLM) oblongata that are responsible for the maintenance of sympathetic tone and cardio-respiratory reflex regulation. Microinjections of excitant amino acid (glutamate, 100 nl, 100 mM), calcium channel blockers, agonists and antagonists were made throughout the VLM in anaesthetized rats. Arterial blood pressure, sym...
