During the Southern Great Plains experiment, the synthetic aperture radiometer, ESTAR, mapped L-band brightness temperature over a swath about 50 km wide and about 300 km long extending west from Oklahoma City to El Reno and north from the Little Washita River watershed to the Kansas border. ESTAR flew on the NASA P-3B Orion aircraft at an altitude of 7.6 km and maps were made on 7 days between...

To determine the neuronal connections in the periaqueductal gray (PAG) is important for studying modulation of neuronal activity of PAG to influence sympathetic responses. We had characterized projections from the left kidney to the midbrain PAG in adult male melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R)-green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice by using retrograde tracing techniques of pseudorabies vir...

Several studies have shown that CNS provides the regulation of gastric functions. Recent evidence indicated that the activation of melanocortin 4 receptors (MC4R) in brain nuclei played an important role in modulating gastric activity. This study was designed to assess whether MC4R signaling existed in autonomic circuitry modulated the activity of stomach by a virally mediated transsynaptic tra...

Several studies have shown that motor cortex stimulation provided pain relief by motor cortex plasticity and activating descending inhibitory pain control systems. Recent evidence indicated that the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) in the periaqueductal gray played an important role in neuropathic pain. This study was designed to assess whether MC4R signaling existed in motor cortex-periaqueducta...
